I'd like to meet:

Behind the screen lay the body. Thousands upon thousands of millions of minute and diverse individuals had come together and the product of their mutual dependance, their mutual hostility had been a human life. Their colony, their living hive had been a man. The hive was dead. But in the lingering warmth many of the component individuals still faintly lived; so they also would have perished. And meanwhile, from the air, invisible hosts of saprophytics had already begun their unresisted invasion. They would live among the dead cells, they would grow, and prodigiously multiply and in their growing and procreation all the chemical building of the body would be undone, all the intricacies and complications of its matter would be resolved, till by the time their work was finished, a few pounds of carbon, a few quarts of water, some lime, a little phosphorus and sulphur, a pinch of iron and silicon, a handful of mixed salts- all scattered and recombined with the surrounding world- would be all that remained
