My Endless Mind - a very short story

I befriended the maggots and crows as they dine on my corpse.

They thank me for being so delicious, and were thankful that I died.

"You're welcome," I replied. Knowing fully aware how odd this situation was.

The maggots and crows did not find it odd that I was delicious.

But what they did find odd is that their usual soulless meal spoke.

This was the part where I befriended them.

But the conversations and our friendship didn't last long when there was nothing left of me for them to eat.

I was now a blind, deaf skeleton. Couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't feel, or even speak.

I was lonely with my brainless thoughts for as long as I remain fully intact with my fossilizing bones.

And I occasionally wonder: How I am able to think without a brain?

This is left to my imagination (and of course...yours) to decide that fact.
