The first time I realized my own mortality I was seven years old. My recent birthday had caused me to start thinking a great deal of how old I had become and my inevitable demise. It was then I had my first episode of heart burn. I had no idea what was going on; I was convinced I was having a heart attack. I decided I'd better stop sucking my thumb, because if I died like this, I didn't want everybody to remember my with my knuckle between my teeth.
