"What's your worst nightmare?"

Is there something in this world that brings shivers down your back? Or something you cant stand to think about? Heights? Rabid monkey attacks? Drowning?

Everyone has a worst fear. What's yours?

Could you imagine the pain of being told you have 24 hours to live?

If that happened to me, then sleep's out of the question. I'd have important things to do. Enemies to torment, that sort of thing.

Doctor: I have bad news and even worse news. The bad news is the results of your test. They say you have 24 hours to live.
Patient: What's the worse news?
Doctor: I tried to contact you all day yesterday.

That's sort of what I was trying to say but I phrased it far worse.

All for a treasure box containg a piece of paper saying "I hope you buried me, I didn't want cremated"

Other otehrwise, depending what you want.

That would be a pretty good way to go. However, I'd like the satisfaction of knowing loads of secrets, which I'd put in a book and hidden beneath a maze of illogical puzzles, traps and zombies in my huge mansion.

I want to know I'm going to die, but not before my time.

ie, i feel like I'm going to die, i move around my house making preparations, I get a glass of whisky or something, and a cigar (the only one I'll ever have), I'll sit down in a big chair, and wait to die.

It'll be awesome.

Odd isn't the word. Actually that has to be a pretty silly nightmare. Again, even if you planned 3 days ahead then died in your sleep - you wouldn't know anything about it, you're dead.

Don't plan your next day then - live for the moment.

No he's right. Even if you were strapped in watching death rushing to meet you, even if you had time to panic, prey, cry whatever - once you hit the ground you are dead. Finito. Splatt. At that point whatever you experienced prior to that moment is over. You're dead egro no memory of it.

Think about the people who have been found after an earthquake, buried for 1 - 2 weeks. Now that is a TRUE nightmare. Imagine just a tiny space for you to survive in all that time alone. The nightmare will always be with you.

Actually I suppose I should read the rest of the thread to find out what the hell I'm talking about.

I'd rather die knowing it was going to happen rather than going peacefully in my sleep. I just dont like the idea of going to baed one night planning what you'll do the next day but then you die without knowing it and everything ends. I want to be able to think "Oh no, this guy's going to shoot me" *BANG* (Or something similar). Odd, I know, but that's just me.

But it wouldn't be like that though, would it? You'd have to endure the terror of the initial 'problems' followed by the loss of control and the rapid descent, taking a look out of the window and seeing the ground come flying toward you, knowing there's nothing you can do to escape the situation. Closer it gets, very fast, and all you can do is sit in your seat and ride out what seems like an eternity while everyone around you is screaming and crying, both prepared and unprepared for the inevitable smash into the ground/water.

That, for me, is far more terrifying than some instant death.
