The One Everyone Fears but Can’t Escape
Riddle:
Some try to flee me, others try to cheat me. I wait in silence, but I always come. You won’t know my name—until I take yours. Who am I?
Answer:
Death — The riddle personifies death as an unavoidable presence. No matter what one does—deny, delay, or ignore—it eventually comes. The final line is poetic: when death takes your name, you cease to exist.
