All apologies, dear reader…you know only the most extreme forces of nature could keep me from our nightly get-togethers. I had to deal with Death. He showed up rather early for our meeting…about a decade early by my reckoning. Anyway, I (with the help of a few friends) politely invited Death to kiss my ass, for this week, at least. I felt a little bit bad for Death (I think he got written up over it), but just as he has his schedule, so do I have mine. And my work is, in my humble opinion, far more important than his. I mean, come on: any idiot can go kill a list a people…only I can write these books.
Dude doesn’t talk, much, Death. He actually doesn’t talk at all. I suppose he doesn’t have to. But it dragged our little kerfuffle this week out about twice as long as it needed to be.
