"On What Is True," part 4

It is indeed true that the man jumped on the block and saw it was the last time. He was given three minutes to have his final thoughts. "What should I think about?" he wondered, "what could possibly be so significant to be justified as my final thoughts?" He began by thinking about how he could end his life even sooner than the little time that was left him.

This in fact is how it did happen.
