They would want it to die to walk away from covering any short position thus they make a 100% profit..

The only time they can "walk away" from a short position without covering, and without running the risk of ever having to cover is if the registration of the stock in question is revoked.

That doesn't happen very often.

Like so many others, you just don't GET IT: shortsellers are just like long players. They set targets and stick to them, if they're any good. Doing that is even more important for shorts, since they assume a much greater risk than longs.
