Deathcember, DI’s annual rumination on mortality and the end of things, comes to the end of its black road for 2011 with an assortment that reminds us that there’s lots of ways to die and not all of them end with us in the ground. We might die a little on a stage or in a bed next to someone who used to make us feel alive. Yes, we might go down on a battlefield or maybe, more insidiously, just fade away like a photograph left in the sun. However it happens it happens to us all, so we’d best get on with the business of living while we’ve got the time and breath.
