Kennatsu had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Let's say you were dying slowly. Now, as you're dying you see a hooded figure with a scythe approaching you, and you realize that it's Death who's come to claim your soul. Now, here's my question....

Would you try to cheat him, thus averting becoming deceased? And if so, how?

Death comes to us all. It can not be cheated or bargined with. But if you face death and stand tall then you will defeat it.

Just my own personaly philosiphy. It is the fear of the unknown that people hate. If we face death without that fear then there really is no problems with it in my view. Death is no different that birth. You are passing from one phase of your existance to another. Why fear it? Face it. Embrace it.

Really? I have no idea what I would do.

lol kinda like that monty python skit...

*BANG*
(no effect)
uhh.. just making sure...

Do you have any idea how tough it must be to be Death? Tearing apart families, pulling loved ones away from each other for untold years, sowing pain... bringing rest, yeah, but death is often seen as bad... poor guy. He either must have no emotions at all or be completely insane by now...

I can't remember the author.. but it's good.

Piers Anthony.

If you want an even better look at Death, read Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, specifically "Mort", "Reaper Man", "Soul Music", "Hogfather", and "Thief of Time".

Piers Anthony's Death was stylish...but I found him somewhat two dimensional. Too human.

"But I'm music. You can't kill me!!!"
Death, in that voice you KNOW has got to be low, and super in charge: "Oh no?"

I like Chess.

Also, look for Vertigo/DC comic's "Death: The high cost of living". Based off of the Sandman comics done by Neil Gaiman, it follows a teenager that's thinking of killing himself, and what happens when he runs into the living spirit of Death. This version of Death is female, and quite different from the normal take on the idea.

Did like Death's explanation of her purpose in the grand scheme of things, especially the bit about the end of the universe, "I'll be the one there to put the chairs on the table, stools on the bar, and turn the lights out before closing the door behind me"

Or something to that effect.

*edit* Missed a part.

Bingo, that's the one.

Although Gikk's sister has me beat... I only have a watch (that needs a new band), a figure and a poster... the bitch has all kinds of shit.

Great series.

That or see if I can get him to look the other way, and run away from him as fast as I can.
