Death Orgy in a Gale (Creative Death)

Tom Ball

    A crew of 4 women and 4 men set out to sea just prior to the arrival of the hurricane. They had specially outfitted their boat to have waterproof cameras throughout the deck as well as a lot of ropes to hold onto. The idea was to have an orgy on deck during the storm, which would hopefully culminate in their deaths.
    And so it went. All 8 lasted for over 2 hours but then finally the storm began to strengthen and one by one they were washed overboard. Finally there was just one woman playing with herself, and then she two was overboard.
    After the storm rescuers found the boat capsized and towed it back to port. There, a friend of the 8 sex farers took possession of the film and started to copy and distribute it.
    Many people showed an interest in what had come to be called creative suicide. And many people proposed other projects in other situations, which would also end in death.
    One of the first suicide projects, which followed involved having sex after jumping out of a plane at high altitude without parachutes. Many people enjoyed this one also so then they had ice orgies (in the frozen north with no clothes, having sex till they froze), sea orgies (in the water until they drowned) and orgies on the sides of tall buildings (such as the Eiffel tower) using suction cups (until they fell).
    As the movement gained strength it’s members called for increasing creativity in suicides. For example one would tell one’s life story to a painter and get him to paint a picture based on one’s life. Or another group would write down all the best stories from their life and then kill themselves. They hoped that they could be remembered in this way.
    Soon everyone the world over was thinking about death in a new way. Why not leave a picture or storybook behind for posterity? So eventually it became part of mainstream culture.
