believe me

By the time you read this, I may already be dead.

I say that in the sense that statistically any of us could be dead by the time you read this. Though if you are reading it you are yourself not dead, obviously, but you could be dead by the time the next person reads it. We're all floating above the black, snarling pit of death on soap bubbles.

I am not the one who wrote this. It is a quote.
But please, please keep reading.
