+====Daffodils and daisies poke through the nostrils of the forgotten corpse, searching for the sun. Fish find shelter in the once-bright corridors of the sunken ships. Death is not singular event, marking life as over once the heart stops beating. Instead, it is an ongoing and inevitable process, permeating every second of life.
