Improv of "The Pardon"

I liked the line "I beg death's pardon now." It makes me think about death and what other way this could go...

I beg death's pardon now.
Before, flashbacks waited like cars at red lights
each night. Whether it be Uncle's murder-
which I only saw on the channel five news, where 
Sandra Lee told of the .45 mm bullet through the skull,
but no shell casing. Aunt Sally's subsequent
suicide- electrocuting herself with a toaster in the tub.
Who wants toast with soap suds anyway?
