ok.... the conversation is made between this man and a guy named Simon whose watching another man named Tom about to lose and get kill, this man's trying to make sarcastic remark. Wuld it be alright if the dialogue is like this "To meet a rush end for a guy like Tom, what a waste isn't it, Simon"

is it better for a reversed, 'for a guy like Tom to meet such a rush end, what a waste isn't it, Simon'

'rush end' isn't a common expression for untimely death, and wouldn't easily be understood. When you use 'rush' do you want to imply that his demise is sooner than expected or less glorious than he deserved? If the former, what about 'sudden end'?

Thank you for the responese, Lil' Ruby Rose.

It's more of the latter, I'm trying to make the death sound more dramatic...

and in that case... "rush" may be?

More importantly, should I reverse the order so 'for' is before 'to'?

possibly 'rushed end' but not just rush end. It's still not an obvious way to mean sudden death though.

How about 'miserable end' - which can mean inglorious as well as sad.

This wuld do, thanks Marius Hancu!

It wasn't meant to be sad, the two aren't Tom's friend, they just hold a little respect for Tom.

Thanks again for all inputs!
