In the midst of life

I am practicing attitudes of death. I've done a stately death mask, I've done Pompeii victim. I need to work on nuclear blast. I used to do a mean Han Solo encased in carbonite, even though technically that's not a death expression. I don't think I could ever master a saintly repose of acceptance, something beatific, aware of one's place in the rich tapestry of life etc. Not really my style. I could, however, nail a cowardly shriek with associated clutching of air. If you're gonna go down, I say go down shrieking and clutching. Screw bravery!
