Funeral for the Awesome
An awesome man has passed on. For unexplained reasons, his funeral was postponed for several months after his death, as per his will. As the mourners gather at the closed-casket funeral, a somber tone is over the room. The grievers find their seats and prepare for the eulogy, laid out precisely as according to the will of the awesome man. As a friend goes to give his eulogy, those there to see the man off are too overcome with memories to notice the marionette strings hanging near-invisibly from the ceiling, or the executor of the estate holding a suspicious button. As the friend clears his throat, the button is pressed, and in a split second the coffin lid flips open and the skeletal remains of the man rise, hanging vertically with an electric guitar attached in proper playing posture, a Hendrix solo blaring out through speakers as the skeletal hand appears to strum. Inside of ten seconds of this, the bomb attached to the inside of the guitar goes off, covering those shocked mourners with the dust of the awesome as the guitar noise slowly dims from the speakers. Everyone later agreed that it was the best funeral, and guitar solo, ever.
