When our former French President François Mitterrand died in the nineties, I always thought that he was so megalomaniac he wouldn't want to miss his funeral. Since then, I told myself I should write it, a story where he would have his death announced a few days before he actually passed away so he could watch the whole thing.
I should get to this. Or find a great writer to help me. Anyone ?
isn't this kind of what a birthday should be?
i love this idea
