TM 282--Cremation or Burial? Talk about funeral arrangements.
Uh--neither. I'm not really planning on leaving a body behind, you know? That... typically doesn't happen for us. Speedsters, that is. We become a part of the Speed Force when we die, which is kind of like heaven, and kind of... indescribable. You'd have to experience it to understand. Anyway, the point is, it takes us body and soul. Not to be blasphemous or anything, but you know what happened to Jesus Christ? How he ascended into heaven straight from the physical plane, and all of his physical parts along with him? It's pretty much like that.
Hey, maybe Jesus was a speedster. It kind of makes sense, with all the stuff he got done in such a short amount of time. I mean--all that traveling! Well, maybe not. He had all those disciples around. One of them probably would have written it down if he'd noticed Jesus running as fast as we do.
Anyway--funeral arrangements, right? Well. There'd be no body, and I'm not affiliated with any kind of church or anything, so... I'm thinking party. Not some big mournful funeral like we had when we thought Superman died. I'm talking about the party we had up on the Watchtower afterward. Where we shared the happy memories and laughed, and all that. That's what I want. People getting together and having a good long laugh at all the asinine things I've done. I mean--I can't be the only one who remembers when I made a complete fool of myself on live TV. Or that tricked-out van. Or any of the thousands of other dumb things I've said and done.
Anyway, I don't want people to mope. Knowing me--and I think I do, by now--I'll have gone out helping people. Doing some good. That's pretty much how I'd want to go. No regrets on this end--so none on that end either, okay?
So--yeah. That.
