The Sinking Library
His mind was a library lost in time sunken in the depth of the oceans. The ocean flipped through the pages erasing the pages, word by word. The fishes sniffed the ink while it melts away. The library sank with the ship taking away with it the work of a million sages. There is no hope while the sage struggles to grasp a book. The sage chose to be a librarian on a vessel drifting with the wind and now that it's sinking.
He will die cuddling his favourite book.
What a glorious death!
What a glorious death to die without ever being alive.
