IN BETWEEN THE LINES
What happens the last seconds before we die?
What’s next? I am afraid I can’t enlighten anyone on this one; I am not a ghost.
It is said that time is relative to the observer, so when you are looking down the barrel of a gun, time slows down almost like a pause before the vertiginous descent. Your whole life flashes before your eyes, a kaleidoscope of a lifetime’s precious instants relived in that split second.
A smell, a foolish smile, a voice that we want to retain, a dangerous back alley, like in a film we zoom out from the chaos of all this, catapulted by the celestial spiral into the unknown, the hypnotic and the unearthly.
“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching” – Gerard Way
