Surrounded on all sides by the sudden prospect of doom. He attempted to create some more room between what life he had left and an imminent death. "Time flies when you're having fun," so isn't the opposite true? How many eons did he spend doing things he hated? How many lifetimes he must of lived through; loathing his dreary circumstances, his hobbies, his friends. Surrounded himself with dullness in order to blunt the passage of time. I mean, in that situation, what would you do? He forewent all sense of pleasure for the sake of a longer life, but in the end, he lost it too.

A Eulogy for Dunbar
Surrounded on all sides by the sudden prospect of doom. He attempted to create some more room between what life he had left and an imminent death. "Time flies when you're having fun," so isn't the opposite true? How many eons did he spend doing things he hated? How many lifetimes he must of lived through; loathing his dreary circumstances, his hobbies, his friends. Surrounded himself with dullness in order to blunt the passage of time. I mean, in that situation, what would you do? He forewent all sense of pleasure for the sake of a longer life, but in the end, he lost it too.
He's a fictional character from the novel Catch 22.
