FLASH 55

He perused his bookshelf, hoping to distract his mind. He'd always been healthy so why was death continuously in his thoughts? He poured a glass of red to calm his nerves. The shrilling phone startled him .Phew, the hospital had given him the all clear. Time to move his coffin to a less conspicuous place?

An inventor from New Zealand has come up with an original idea for a coffin/book case/wine rack . Buying a coffin before death would be one less thing for loved ones to worry about and getting some use out of it before death would be an added bonus.

I think it's a great idea but being reminded of my death on a daily basis isn't really my cup of tea. I'd have to put mine out of sight.
