--- Quote from: traroth on 14 Nov 2018, 07:49 ---Marten has a job he likes, a girlfriend and lots of friends. Things seem to be good, to the point JJ doesn't talk about him very much anymore, because all that happiness would be boring!

I fear that after Claire graduates and starts to look for employment, she will not find a librarian position in Northampton, but will be offered one somewhere else, and will have to choose between her career and Marten. Cue enough unhappiness to satisfy anyone.

That might actually happen, but Marten is trying hard enough he won't wake up some day being 40 and not knowing what happened. Even better, good times still remain good times even when they are over. When talking about life, the trip is obviously more important than the destination, which is a sad grave, until proven otherwise.

I'm planning on a festive urn (or better yet, a festive ash spreading and no urn or anything left behind) instead of a sad grave, but that's just me :-D
Is it cold in here?:
Marten has moved to follow a girlfriend before.

I'm half-tempted to go for the burlap-sack-with-a-sapling option. Either willow or oak.

I also like that idea, a tree growing where my remains are buried. I can't decide if a fruit tree would be a nice symbol of perpetuation, or just gross...
Cornelius:
Don't let that consideration stop you. It's a nice symbol.
Or if it does, just consider what that means for the fruit and vegetables you're having now.
