They say that when you die, your brain is still active for another seven minutes after your heart stops beating. In those seven minutes, who knows what happens? Who knows what you see? A replay of your life, for some. A crazy dream for others. Everybody's seven minutes are different.
But who knows if you're in those seven minutes? What if, at this very moment in time, you are, in fact, reliving your life in the last seven minutes of postmortem brain activity? You just don't know.
The characters of Death Note are no different. What did they see, what did they live in those last seven minutes? What did L see? Mello? Matt? Light? Only time will tell.
A/N:
I came up with this idea when I heard about the seven minute theory for about the tenth time today. It helps that I relate everything to Death Note. ;)
Even though it's more of a summery than anything, I'll list this as a prologue for now. :) I'll be telling of what I think each character would see in his or her last seven minutes. I'll most likely be starting with Mello, as he's the one I identify with the most. That, and his is already half-done. ;)
I do not own Death Note. I do, however, own a T-Shirt and keychain. ;)
This story is rated T for anticipated language and violence. Rating may possibly change, depending on the inspiration that comes for later chapters.
Reviews would be absolutely fantastic and loved—I thrive knowing people are interested in my stories.
Updates for this will rely on muse and time. It shouldn't take too long between chapters, I hope.
I leave you with this last, thought-provoking question:
Are you in your seven minutes?
