The ways of dying

I remember a while ago when small strings of posts about a certain topic would be discussed. There would be questions like "what is honor?" Furthermore, with the population seemingly decreasing in the Arena, perhaps this small trend will kick some interest back in the patrons. While the question itself is quite depressing, I am shooting more for a type of question
that will have a variety of responses, instead of making it a one sided question.

The question is: What is the worst way to die?

When I ask this, I hope the answer is not limited to physical pain one endures. In my personal opinion, the worst ways of dying involve the psychological torture; dying alone, or perhaps the most painful way... knowing when you will die, but having the dread follow you until that moment, and wondering just how you will die.

Anyhow, hopefully this will result in interesting answers. I'm asking what circumstances, be it physically or mentally, the patrons think make the worst death.

The worst death is found when your emotions and energy are gone but your body dares to continue on.

The worst death would be to outlive all your children and be the last of your line.

Honestly the worst death I can imagine is not one of body...it is of heart when the one you vowed to spend your life with cheats on you and leaves you for that person she cheated with.

I'm not scared to die really, so I couldn't say.

To fear dying, while dying, I think, would be very frightening.

Torture.

The kinds that the torturer performs which keep you alive as long as possible. Allowing you to feel all the pain as your body is slowly peeled apart, one small strip at a time, one internal organ removed at a time, shown to your eyes before you die.

To be tortured alone, after outliving all of your children and learning your the last of your line, then to be burned at the stake with a giant mirror in front of you, all the while wishing that you had done something better with your life than to cheat on your spose.

The worst way to die is in your bed with a redhead showing you her cowgirl impression.

The sight of a redhead in my bed would kill me. I guess that'd be the worst way to die.

The worst death ... is the one you live for.

All this talk about death is depressing me and making me sad. I don't want to be tortured or anything like that, so I think I might just go get sloppy drunk, pick up a redhead as Elijah suggests, and poison myself in a state of stupor. Though last time I tried that I got too drunk to poison myself, woke up with damn near a she-him looking woman with spaghetti sauce in her
hair, then immediately started the process over again just for the sake that I woke up next to such and ugly beast. But more than likely I will die in some stupid way, like getting run over by a wagon. No pun intended.

The worst way to die:

You wake up one day and realize what you have lived and worked for is fake and in vain. Years spent on living wasted. Your whole life wasted. Your mind crashes, you body no longer moves. It is too late for forgiveness, too late for your sins. You find a place in your mind and slam the door. The natural death process over comes your body to find yourself awakened in a new hell tortured by your past; having to relive the exact same life with the
exact same fate forever without your knowing.
