Say you're a good guy. You suddenly find the Implacable Man, Eldritch Abomination, or some other terror is in front of you. There's no escape, no possibility of punching it out, no amount of Heroic Willpower is going to save you, and either death or a Fate Worse Than Death are certain. Alternatively, say you're a bad guy and maybe the Badass Anti-Hero you pissed off has finally caught up to you on his Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Maybe you're just an unfortunate Mooks who turned a corner while walking your patrol in the Supervillain Lair and came face to face with The Hero.

Regardless of whichever side of the good/evil axis you find yourself on, you're in a situation where you're completely screwed, there's no way out, and you have only a matter of seconds until some unthinkable horror befalls you. So what do you do? Some say "Oh Crap." Some put a curse on their killers. Some have a last bit of bravado or badassery. And some just quietly begin praying, knowing they are far too screwed for anything else to do any possible good. Depending on the character and situation involved, this can overlap with anything from Go Out with a Smile to Obi-Wan Moment to Death Equals Redemption. This trope is not about telling someone to say their prayers: That one is Prepare to Die. Examples of Say Your Prayers include:
