She’d been running all her life.
When she died, she was running. Kept right on running, actually.
People would wonder how she could still be running (being dead and all) but instead of asking that, they would ask,

“Why?”
“I’m running late.”
Hi Dad,

The human’s bittersweet joy at this event was interrupted when thousands of baby aliens devoured him.
The last man on Earth died for the fifteenth time.

It did everything to keep him happy, producing entertainment, stimulating conversations, and everything else it thought he needed.
But it could not give him a purpose.
Meaningless immortality.
The gun was left in the drawer.
Everyone knew it was there, but no one dared use it.
Each one of them died, one after the other, while the detective tried in vain to puzzle things out.
In the end, he died, too.
And the gun remained in the drawer.
When John died, representatives of Heaven and Hell showed up.
“Come with me, and live in eternal bliss, love and happiness,” said the angel.
“Sounds boring, don’t it?” said the little devil. “Come with me, it’ll be fun!”
“Your pants are on fire,” said John.
“Occupational Hazard,” said the devil.
