Tue โ 14 May 35
Iโm hearing voices โ some, I think. Itโs English Iโm sure but Iโm not able to understand it. Canโt say why, maybe out of case Iโm also unable to speak. I must be in a very strange physical condition. Until I know whatโs happened Iโm going to sleep now.
Wed โ 15 May 35
Thought I woke up at midday, buzzling around cause of missing half the day but couldnโt stand up. Wanted to go outside for some woodcutting stuff, but anyway couldnโt move a single muscle โ couldnโt even feel. What Iโm able to see, to watch at โ NIL. But Iโm still able to think and thatโs really frustrating: a pulsing soul in a dead body โฆ please, donโt let it last too long!
Thu โ 16 May 35
Still here โ in an unbalanced sphere between life and death. Thatโs not exactly what I was hoping for my last days. I was hoping for an early sudden death. Now itโs early but not sudden. You never canโt get anything you want at all!
Fri โ 17 May 35
Today or what I may call today I could see slight shadows of purple light. There is also a sweet smell of melons and strawberries โ very intensive. I wish I could have some once again.
Sat โ 18 May 35
Canโt remember on much in my life, maybe thatโs fine. My body gets weaker every second and my brain isnโt also the best. But there is still a glimmer of life in me. Iโm asking why. I want to have rest at last, quietness, peace, darkness and release.

Oxford Mail
Sun โ 19 May 35
The โOxford Mailโ deeply regrets to announce that Lawrence of Arabia is dead. The end came shortly after 8 a.m.
Thus, in a motor cycle accident, perished the greatest mystery figure of modern times, the man who preferred to be known as T.E. Shaw rather than by the name that had become famous, the adventurer who joined the Royal Air Force in order to hide his identity from the public gaze, the glamorous Wartime leader on whose head the Turks put the price of ยฃ10,000.
Thus, too, perishes perhaps the greatest Oxford man of his time. As a boy he was a pupil of the Oxford High School. Later he went to Jesus College and was elected to a Demyship of Magdalen.
The distinguished Oxford physician, Sir E. Farquhar Buzzard, had been called into consultation. But all was of no avail. Lawrence of Arabia died at the age of 46 in the Military Hospital of Bovington Camp, Dorset.
