Death is knocking on my door.
Should I answer it?
I don't want to be here any more.
Is it okey to go?
Will they be mad?
I wanna go!
Death is knocking harder!
I wanna answer it.
It's so loud.
No, no I can't.
I'll hurt everyone.
It must wait.
The knocking gets louder.
It kicks down the door.
And I die a suddenr death.
I lie on the floor of the nursing
home.
Breathless, speechless, dead.
Why wasdeath so mean?
I meant no harm.
I didn't wanna break a heart.
I'm sorry.
Sorry I didn't open the door.
Sooner.
