Coolest Way To Die Novels & Stories

"The best way to shut up a person is to beat him up." "The best way to make a person in awe is to let him know how terrible death is." "I'll leave it to you." "Buzz!"

~Kylie’s Point of View~ My dad always said the best way to kill someone would be a snake bite. Literally no one would ever suspect it to be from a shifter, it would be a clean kill. No forensics, no autopsy. Just a poor bastard in the wrong place at the wrong time. A true shapeshifter is still basically a myth to most. That’s partly why I chose to show the pack because your own eyes can’t lie. Though I’d never killed anyone and sure as hell never imagined I would. But it’s beyond personal now. My dad’s terrified face has been in my head non stop and it keeps coming along with little shivers all through me.

“I thought long and hard about this. I want to make your death memorable. Something fitting for a man like you.” He paused, “So, tell me which you’d prefer: should I skin you alive and then burn you? Or maybe electrocute you to death? No, wait… my personal favorite—” He grinned wickedly. “Bury you alive in a coffin filled with mice, so they have to eat you to survive. What do you think?” I murmured something under my breath, my voice too low for him to hear. “What was that?” he asked, leaning closer, his curiosity piqued. “Come on, don’t be shy. Which one will it be?”

’ He shook his head. ‘You sure about that?’ Why was he always so convinced of things he didn’t know? ‘We won’t know if she’s dead, Genius.’ He had me there. Dying in the heat is a horrible death. It has historically been used as a method of torture or execution for she-wolves.

That was probably the same look I gave him. “You know, drowning is the fourth most painful way to die.” She crinkles her nose in a slightly disgusted way, “What? No it isn’t.” I nod, “I’m pretty sure I read it in an article once.” She rolls her eyes, “Is this your way of telling me that it was foolish of me to try to kill myself and I should appreciate the true meaning of life?” She says in an over-the-top theatrical way that makes me smirk. “It isn’t and trust me it wouldn’t help if I did.”

It was William, the Alpha from the Ice Plains Pack, standing behind me. His voice was filled with sorrow, "When you sent him to the Ice Plains, I knew he died painfully. But I didn’t expect... A ten-year-old cub, betrayed by his pack, mauled by lone wolves, abandoned by his father... and forced to watch himself bleed to death." Andrew's final memories were of waiting for death. Even if I had reached him in time, I wouldn’t have been able to save him because the only crystal healing chamber had been taken over by Lucas.

It was built upon countless corpses and bones! Frederick smirked. "Actually, you're mistaken. I haven't changed. I just think that giving them a swift death would be letting them off too easily. Slowly tormenting these people to death, like boiling a frog in warm water… That's the true art of death!" His tone was nonchalant, but each word carried weight. There are many ways to kill someone, but creating despair through murder is on a whole other level! This statement sent shivers down Seiryu's spine, leaving him drenched in cold sweat instantly.

"Damn! That's real brutal of her!" Cyrus was greatly astonished. "Most people would either choose to jump from a building, slit their wrists, or take sleeping pills when they try to take their own lives, just so that they won't die a painful death. I can't believe that she actually dared to shoot herself. She was really determined to die!"

She retches a few times, with the sound of the tide roaring in her ears. Is this... how she's going to die? Not being killed by a ruthless serial killer or falling into a trap set up by a deceitful liar, but dying in such a trivial, unexpected, and inglorious way like a helpless mouse trapped in a drain when a flood strikes? When buried alive, did Sofia Bailey feel the same way?

Different sizes. Oh shit. Death by shovel. Shit. No. Just no. This paranoid asshole wasn't kidding around. And at the moment, death by asphyxiation sounded better in my head. ◇
