Clint was sitting at his desk happily typing away. He was simply answering an email from an old school friend of years back. Unexpectedly on the corner wall, just above the computer screen, a shadow of someone’s head appeared.
Clint turned and looked behind him. There was no sunshine streaming into the room through the window. There was no one standing there.
It became a bit scary to say the least. Clint resumed typing, but began to grow more afraid.
Suddenly, curved around the shadow of the head, there appeared the shadow of the curved blade of a scythe.
When his wife, Tilly, brought in a nice cup of tea, Clint was dead. Tilly tried to revive him but to no avail. She rushed to the next room to find the phone. She did not notice, but on the corner wall just above the sofa, a shadow of someone’s head appeared.

Why make two home visits when one will do? For Mr D’ath the 2-for1 Deal removes that headache.

The second scything by Mr D’ath was possibly because she hadn’t brought him a nice cup of tea.

Poor Tilly…she hired a guy with a scythe to kill Clint…and Tilly forgot to pay…. OR it could be Mr. Death! Either way…a double death at Clint and Tilly’s pad.

Yes Max – it’s always wise to pay the murderer you hire.

“That’s your time” was one of the most relieving expressions of my life. I used to have these fifteen minute oral examinations when the professor could ask you all sorts of questions about the topic at hand. Hearing “That’s your time” was the biggest relief knowing you didn’t have to go through it again for another 6 months.
