Panel 1:
A woman named Celia is lying on a bed, speaking to a man, David, who appears frail. David looks worried.
Text (David): "Celia, I haven't got long. I know I haven't been a good partner, but what will you say about me when I'm gone?"

Panel 2:
Celia is now animatedly responding with determination.
Text (Celia): "I WILL DE-EXIST YOU, DAVID! I WILL SCATTER YOUR MEMORY TO THE WIND! THE REALITY OF YOUR LIFE WILL BE CRUSHED AND LIES PLACED ATOP THE RUBBLE!"

Panel 3:
David protests in panic, raising his hands.
Text (David): "NO! NO! I WAS A REAL MAN! SAY HOW I WAS!"

Panel 4:
Celia firmly replies, looking fierce.
Text (Celia): "NEVER! YOU WILL BE AS NOTHING!"

A gravestone is depicted with the name "DAVID JENKINS" engraved on it. Surrounding the tombstone are flowers and a figure, presumably Celia, mourning.
