Just for morbid fun, nothing else.
The scene is this:
You are in front of your computer emailing a mate. The 3 minute warning goes off and you have 3 minutes - 180 seconds - to write your message.
Time yourself, and dont cheat because otherwise it's pointless.
Strictly limit yourself to 3 minutes exactly, when that 3 minutes is up, stop writing even if it's mid sentence.
You were writing to your mate to express your fears at the escalating conflict around the world.

3 minutes exactly.

I wasnt referring to yours, I got the clue from "serious" at the bottom.

The first you would know about it would be when you died.

Is something wrong with that sentence?

This only took me a minute so I can't be bothered to do 3, sorry and all that

Hi Jo,

Damn , bad news about the world going to end. Now I will never get to finish that game. It was boring anyway.

How's it going your end. Kids all settled down to die have they.

At least I'll not have to pay that credit card bill - god I thought that debt would kill me not this war.

And sod it all I've just finished painting the hallway and now

3 minutes left.
Not exactly how I expected to be going, but it aint like we had a lot of say in it eh?
People are outside screaming and running, dont see the point myself but each to their own.

I hope you make it through this mate, hell I hope this even reaches you - who knows?
I've got zero regrets about anything except for not having enough time to phone everyone and tell them I love them. What the hell though!
Glad I never had kids, wouldnt want to have them deal with this crap, we created this problem so let's not punish them.

180 seconds aint a lot of time to say what I want to say, except I'll miss my family and friends and I hope those that did this burn forever.
Wont end on a bad note though "It's just a ride" said Bill Hicks and I hope he's right.
Otherwise this is a crap end to something that was a laugh whi

Of course, be careful not to cut it too close. You need time to press send, etc...

If you can do nothing but offer studied cynicism and playground dialect, put your helmet on, bemoan your mate-less existence and actually do something with your life IB.

Mate,

soprry about the appalling spelling but that isn't of much importance anymore. I can't believe that we've really done it, we've managed to wipe ourselves out. Still obliteration through atomics is something i've never done before so at least i will die with purpose.

er see you after or if there is no after then i'll take this opportunity to remind you that i still oew you £20.

Bye

I actually took my head out of my cynical backside and made that a simple quip, but if you'd rather take it as cynical and derogatory, then I won't stop you.

Well, heh, this is it..

Half my life I've been ready to die at any moment, but now it's come down to it... everything's going so well... I'm finally beginning to enjoy life and it's going in a puff of smoke, ha

well, just so you know, you were fantastic to know, we've had some fun, and life wouldn't have been the same without you.

Thanks dude, you really meant a lot to me

And go tell people you love them, go talk to your parents again, go out there and be happy, because life's too short, and you never know when your time is gonna be up

I've got a minute now, this... jesus. I mean, what should I expect? Where am I going... what pain am I going to feel...

Am I going to fall into a deep dream...

Or was this just a dream after all..

30 seconds

Jesus

Look man, do whatever you want, never stop yourself, just go live life, go handgliding

I never went handgliding
