Oh, I’m ready. A little afraid, sure, but who isn’t? I don’t expect it to hurt. I’ve been near the end three times before, and it’s always the same. Always calm, the same calm. Anxiety is for the well. When death is truly close, it feels like a blanket. A good sleep. I’m sure, in your line of work, you hear that sort of thing all the time, but it’s true. Sometimes I think it’s the only time in my life I’ve ever been able to relax. The first time was a fall on a family ski trip when I was fourteen.
