english: Now when I first started asking what happens when we die, the grown-ups around me at the time answered with a typical English mix of awkwardness and half-hearted Christianity, and the phrase I heard most often was that granddad was now "up there looking down on us," and if I should die too, which wouldn't happen of course, then I too would go up there, which made death sound a lot like an existential elevator.
non_english: Keď som sa začal pýtať: „Čo sa stane, keď zomrieme?“ dospeláci v mojom okolí odpovedali s typickou anglickou zmesou trápnosti a neúprimného kresťanstva. Fráza, ktorú som počúval najčastejšie, znela, že starý otec „je teraz tam hore a pozerá sa na nás“. A keby som zomrel ja,  čo sa samozrejme nestane, tiež by som šiel tam hore. Vďaka tomu smrť znela ako existenčný výťah.
