A 26-year-old man climbed on a hospital roof dressed as a 'crow' which resembles a Grim Reaper outfit, as he flaunted a long knife has now been fined for his nuisance behaviour

          It’s the UK law term, not my words.

          And even by them, it’s not defined, meant to be left to the court to argue.

      Wait, if Ole Grim is being detained, then who is going to harvest the souls of dying mortals? Does this mean we won’t be able to die, or that our souls will simply be trapped somewhere between the realms of the living and the dead? Hmm…

            Holy shit. Forgotten memory accessed.

            Dude is about to shoot himself, Death turns up to collect him but has his hood down or something, the guy freaks out and shoots Death instead and has to take his place, right?

            I read that 30+ years ago burning through my town library’s small sci-fi/fantasy section.

              Yes, that’s the one. “On a Pale Horse” is the first book in the series, and the one about Death. In the books, magic and science coexist and aspects of reality like War, Time, Death, etc are all offices that people hold.

              The whole Incarnations of Immortality series is one of my favorites, but it’s been a bit since I’ve read them.

    I’m very tall and one time I was in my 97 year old grandmother’s room because I’d had to use her bathroom and she was half awake and said, “No! Go away!” and I was like, damn, ok. But I think she thought I was Death! :/

    She was the best. So close to MLK during the Dream speech that she sat on the steps and couldn’t see him. Black Panthers would salute her white self. The best. I asked her what the most impactful technology she’d seen in her lifetime was and she said, “the next one.” So cool. There’s a picture of her and her crew with Jimmy Carter and she’s standing in front of him. What a badass.
