Abigail Thomas Quote

I have decided that when I’m dead I’d like my body in the woods under a light coating of leaves. That being against the law, maybe I will go for cremation. I ask Chuck what he wants done with his remains. Remains? says Chuck. Do there have to be remains? Can’t I just vanish? Be no more? I tell him I’m sorry but yes, he has to have remains. Either I’m too young to be thinking about this, he says, or I have to figure out a way of offing myself that will leave no remains. I could get in the shower with a chain saw,
