I met Death this afternoon. He was standing in the hallway at my work.
"Shit... Really?"
Death nodded.
"Can I at least say goodbye to someone before I go?"
Again, Death nodded.
I walked down a row of cubicles and found Gina, a senior, helping an agent.
"Hey, I came to say goodbye."
"Goodbye? Are you quitting?"
"Not exactly..."
"Fired?"
I hugged her.
"It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for smiling at me everytime you passed by my desk."
I walked away and, reluctantly, grasped Death's hand as I walked out the door.
