My Obituary
Natascha Watercott, age 20, was found dead in her Pine City apartment early this morning. The details of her death remain sketchy until police investigate further.
She was known to be an avid reader and writer and had plans to publish a number of unfinished horror novels. She was finishing her 2-year transfer degree at Anoka Ramsey Community College in Cambridge and was set to transfer to the University of Madison in the Spring of 2011.
“She always liked bugs,” said her mother Anke. “When she was little, she would spend all day digging around for them in the yard.” Natascha had planned to pursue a degree in entomology (insects) at Madison. She told her parents that she wanted to study insect behavior in hopes of changing society’s perceptions of them.
Natascha was born on July 1st, 1991 in Fort Benning Georgia. Her family moved Pine City Minnesota a year later where Natascha was known as a model student and kept an average 3.7 GPA throughout high school. She also excelled in college, maintaining a 4.0 GPA and becoming a regular on the Dean’s list.
Your obituary almost reads like a feature story in a newspaper...very mysterious! I loved the quote from your mother: "She always liked bugs" it caught my attention and made me want to continue reading to find out where you were going with a quote like that! You were very complete with giving the details and highlights of your extremely short life.
ReplyDelete"to publish a number of unfinished horror novels", This sounds like you wanted to publish works before they were finished, not that you wanted to publish the novels but they will remain unfinished since you die. Other than that, solid obit. Loved how you wanted to change the world's perception of bugs. It will make readers that don't know you sad that you weren't given the opportunity to change their world.
