A Preemptive Obituary for The Spire’s Very Own Ashwin Prabaharan

Speculating…

It is my great dishonor to report that within the next 168 hours The Spire’s very own

Ashwin Prabaharan will unfortunately perish. Ashwin is probably survived by other members of

his family but that information is not readily available to the mass population. More importantly,

Ashwin is survived by all of the current members of The Spire who will probably forget about

his presence in the next couple of weeks.

Ashwin is tragically going to meet his match during his top secret government spy

mission in Ukraine next week. The current propaganda is that it is a “work trip” but we all know there’s more to the story.

The scene will be something like this. Ashwin, dawned in his James Bond tuxedo, will

stand between Russia and Ukraine and try to be a moderator of the two parties. Unfortunately for

Ashwin “James Bond” Prabaharan, he has underestimated the might of Putin’s gaze and will

likely perish in the same way Spider-Man did in Avengers: Infinity War. That’s how God drew it

up in the playbook and it was unfortunately one he couldn’t change at the line of scrimmage.

This does raise the question as to why someone would go to such a place during wartime.

Did the other members of the E-Board conspire an elaborate scheme for this result? I guess we’ll

never know.

Ultimately, Ashwin may rest in a sweater vest and khaki filled paradise and his legacy

will forever live on throughout the Holy Cross student-run newspaper.

*For legal purposes this is all just speculation.
