I’m Off to the Great Beyond in a UFO
I grew up by the sea – always had an affinity with the waves, the tides, that sense of looking out to the great beyond, wondering what lay there.
But as one grows older, the great beyond takes on connotations other than distant lands lying beyond a Devonian horizon.
We can’t help but begin contemplating what will happen once we’ve died.
But I know what’ll happen to me – all thanks to this Swedish company.
I’m being thrown to sea in something that looks remarkably like a UFO.
Named the Shell, it is a burial urn made of compressed paper that dissolves in the water over time.
There’s a small slit on the top, so that loved ones can post messages. Messages of support? I’m not sure. Knowing those I’ll be leaving behind, probably just bawdy jokes.
Nevertheless, I’m off to the great beyond in a UFO. Nothing excites me more.
