“What if I run out of my favorite coffee and have to settle for gas-station coffee? What if I lose my temper and snap at my child? What if I didn’t have time to shower one last time, or eat my favorite candy bar, or what if I accidentally cut someone off in traffic and that’s my final moment on Earth? My swan song.” I inhale a deep breath, a chill snaking down my back. “The last day is your last chance to get it right. To leave your mark and do everything you want to do. The idea of those final moments not being brilliant or memorable is terrifying to me.”
