To Cheat Or Not To Cheat, That Is The Question
Human: Where am I? 
 
 Death: You're on the brink of death. I'm going to have to take record of how you died, and when. [clicks pen] Please, begin. 
 
 Human: What? How is this real? 
 
 Death[sighing, putting on reading glasses and flipping through an old, dusty book]: They always ask me that. Right here. It says it right here. Death is real. Death is natural. Now can we just get on with this? Time is money. 
 
 Human: Why do you need money? 
 
 Death: Just answer my questions! 
 
 Human: I don't want to! 
 
 Death: You have to. 
 
 Human: Nuh-uh. 
 
 Death: Yeah-huh. 
 
 Human: Nuh-uh. 
 
 Death: Just. Answer. The. Gosh. Darn. Questions! Then I'll be gone, you'll be dead, and everything will be happy happy joy joy. 
 
 Human[whining]: Can't I just cheat death? Like in the books? Why can't that happen? 
 
 Death: No, you can't. 
 
 Human: Why not? 
 
 Death: It isn't fair. 
 
 Human: Life isn't fair! 
 
 Death: But I'm not life. I'm death. 
 
 Human: ......Touche.
