The creek is my quiet place, the place I go to think. I take my shoes off at one and and proceed down in, feeling the cool water rushing over my feet. There's a little ledge at one point, I climb it a lot. Sometimes I notice the limb. One day I decided to sit on it, that was until I noticed a termite mound. If I sat on the limb it would've snapped and I would've died, probably. That would've been stupid. 1
Most painful death, easy, it'd be falling from a plane and landing hard because you didn't have your parachute on and then being skinned alive and salt thrown onto your whole body. And when you thought it was over, a stream roller rolls over you and finally, you're dead. Ok, maybe that's the impossible one. 2
Painful, being hung. It can take up to five minutes to actually die, so you're just hanging there, your throat constricted, your breath caught in your chest. 3

Write on and on!

Interesting. I don't know if you were meaning for this to happen, but your first paragraph turned out to be very poetic. You did have one typo, though...
"I take my shoes off at one and and proceed..."
*I think you mean: "I take my shoes off one at a time and proceed..."
Nice job. -
Stupid death: I agree it's a silly way to go, but I've heard of more stupid deaths. Interesting idea, however. Great spirit of observation about that termite mound
Your impossible death would only be possible if the person was immortal. I'm 90% sure anyone would have died after falling from the plane. So yes, it's impossible
Painful death: being hung has always seemed to me like a boring way to die. I don't know why. I guess it's because there's no blood (here's my dark sense of humour...). Being skinned alive is surely a more painful way to die. I didn't know a person can take up to five minutes to die in the gallows. Interesting new information
My favourite death out of your examples: the impossible one, because the person would die three times I would have never EVER through about that Thank you!
Good job! -
Hi
Glad you weren't out on that limb. Your impossible death would kill a person three times over. Strangling to death would be pretty bad, but if you're hung properly, you're neck breaks.

thanks, limb doesn't exactly exist, although I have sat on limbs over creeks, they never broke thankfully.
