Death Fails To Claim Victim
Death failed to claim 117 year old heart attack victim Edward Macken today. Earlier when Edward was kind enough to give me a few words, I believe he had mumbled, "what the fuck? i was watching Matlock one minute, then in a hospital getting a tube put up my man pipe the next. the nurse had told me i had a heart attack. i could of swore my number was up this time. why do i got to suffer like this? it's just not humane. Kevorkian can't do house calls anymore either." Ed proceeded to ask which grandchild i was. With such injustice done to a kindly old man, i went to look for where things went wrong. My answer was found at the door of Death. unfortuneatly, Death had gone out for some groceries. "He really loves quieche, but he was out of eggs. He should be back shortly," said his doorman. i left my name and number with the doorman and went back to my office, awaiting the call of Death. About half an hour later, i got the phone call. "Is this the reporter who had stopped by earlier, looking for me?" said the taut english voice. i asked, "is this Death?" and received the response, "yes." I had questioned him as to whether or not he was keen on the name Edward Macken. "Vaguely familiar...i think i was scheduled to stop by earlier today. something about a heart attack or stroke maybe...i cant remember. i was watching Nascar races." "So why didn't you claim Edward today?" asked i. "I dont know. i just didn't feel like it, you know. There was some Friends reruns on t.v. today that i didn't get to catch last time. I just wanted to take it easy today. you know, have a little me time." with this answer in hand, i left to see the kindly old Edward once more. When confronted with the information behind Death's motives, he just shook his head in silence. I gave him the opportunity to be alone, and as i walked out the door, he mumbled "it's not fair, it's just not fair," he then rolled on to his side, dozing off into his peaceful slumber.
