Months of anticipation culminated in this pivotal moment for Celestia as she finally set foot aboard the vessel she had yearned for. A diverse throng of fellow passengers encompassed her: elderly couples, solitary young souls, and those navigating their middle years with solitary resolve. The steward, who had meticulously inspected her ticket, extended a gracious welcome to the Endless Horizons, guiding her path to the sanctuary of her appointed cabin.
Devoid of any luggage, the passengers arrived, for theirs was a final voyage without the prospect of return. They were here to die.
Amidst widespread bans on euthanasia and assisted suicide, a unique company introduced the "Endless Horizons" ship. Operating in international waters, it offered a haven for those seeking assisted suicide and a sea burial, sidestepping the stringent regulations that prevailed on land.
Under the aegis of a waning sun, the ship embarked upon its voyage from the harbor. With the morrow's sunrise, international waters would cradle their odyssey, inaugurating the commencement of liberation procedures. For Celestia, the specter of mortality had become an intimate companion over the years, a familiarity that fostered a curious amalgamation of exuberance, wistfulness, and contentment. Engaging in a reflective moment, she opted to etch succinct adieus to her dear friends, preemptively silencing her phone before the influx of well-intentioned responses.
Taking solace amidst the camaraderie of strangers, Celestia gravitated to the open expanse of the deck, a celestial tapestry of stars bedecking the tropical night sky. A repast of modest proportions graced her evening, a humble feast beneath the celestial majesty overhead. She decided to sleep naked.
The dawn heralded the advent of the liberation ritual, a simple yet profound rite. Reclined upon a bed of comfort, Celestia surrendered herself to the sanctum, a diaphanous portal sealing her fate. A nod of assurance from the attending aide served as an elegiac prelude. Amidst an air of solemnity, she summoned the temerity to depress the button, initiating the ethereal metamorphosis. A maelstrom of nitrogen cascaded into the chamber, supplanting the atmosphere within mere seconds.
With a trio of measured inhalations, Celestia lingered on the precipice between existence and oblivion. As the inky tendrils of unconsciousness enshrouded her, the world receded into the abyss, each breath a silent testament to her serene surrender.
