Maggots
by Richard, Wollongong, Australia
Biologist, Aged 40
When I die, that's it. Hopefully a maggot or two will get a meal out of me, just like their cousins might feed from a dead dog or rat. When that last cell ceases respiring it's no longer my body, and my spirit is extinct when those synapses cease firing.
