When I Almost Died

Back in 1995 I almost died but a last minute surgery saved my life. While I was on the operating table, I left my body and found myself on the bank of a very shallow river, no deeper than waist high.

On the other side of the river was Mr. Death, beckoning me to wade across and join him.

"Yeah, right," I replied. "If you want me so bad then why don't YOU cross the river and get me?"

"Silly boy," he said, "Death wades for no one."

So I was spared.

Nadine in the morning

Inside the car, are those dome lights?

 Wait. No. The dome lights don't work.

 Those must the glowing eyeballs of Mr. Death, who IS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT ON THIS BLACK ICE MORNING!!! 

 YAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!

As it turned out Mr. Death merely wanted a ride to Oly and we talked movies. We both like Westerns. I hate it when he just shows up like this, but apparently he doesn't have a phone. Sometimes I wish I had the nerve to suggest he could use a breath mint. It's not like he's my friend or anything, but would you refuse him a lift?
