Lucid Decapitation
| quote | Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds … I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased.The face relaxed, the lids half closed on the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day in the exercise of our profession, or as in those just dead.It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: ‘Languille!’ I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions … Next Languille’s eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves … After several seconds, the eyelids closed again, slowly and evenly, and the head took on the same appearance as it had had before I called out.It was at that point that I called out again and, once more, without any spasm, slowly, the eyelids lifted and undeniably living eyes fixed themselves on mine with perhaps even more penetration than the first time. Then there was a further closing of the eyelids, but now less complete. I attempted the effect of a third call; there was no further movement and the eyes took on the glazed look which they have in the dead.
I have just recounted to you with rigorous exactness what I was able to observe. The whole thing had lasted twenty-five to thirty seconds. |

If I had a name like Languille I'd roll my eyes too.

It's just a name.
I wouldn't lose my head over it.
( Sorry, you know someone was going to say it )

That just means the person calling the time of death was too quick

None of this matters, we are all gonna die. Even if that moment lingers, we die. It does kinda suck, but yeah.
Good thing we can all think about it and focus on it, instead of thinking of other things.
But that stuff is just silly, right?
or not. or it TOTALLY is.
Maybe we are always halfway to the doorway.
