The phrase (or meme)

'I'm not dead yet'
has been uttered by all and sundry –
princes, billionaires and goat-herds,
(and Monty Python, more famously).
But it has never been quoted
as anyone's actual last words.

The actual last words
of a prisoner of conscience
to a torturer
in an Assad-period Syrian prison were:
I'm going to tell God what you did.
