Is he dead yet?

34. JoJoFromJerz said it well:

"He looks like a man who gave up halfway through being embalmed — pink, rubbery, overdone, a human shrimp left under the heat lamp of history. His skin has that glossy, radioactive sheen, the shade you’d get if you basted guilt in iodine and regret. The top of his right hand is still bruised and black, like it spent the weekend auditioning for the afterlife. His cankles have achieved the structural density of pudding. Every step he takes looks like a war crime against geometry. He moves through space like a haunted beanbag chair, listing sideways, one ankle begging for retirement while the other files a grievance with gravity...The whole thing’s turned into Cirque du Cardiac, a nightly sideshow of denial and decay starring one man and his failing organs."
