Today I have managed to get rid of Death.
First, we took it by it's ankles and dragged it till the edge. Then, as it screamed and writhed we shoved it in a jute sack.
We beat it black and blue with sticks until the muffled whimperings ceased and before pity overcame any of us we threw it into the ravine.
Satisfied of no more Death in the world, we followed the bloody trail of torture back into town.
Our return was a grand affair with drums and pretty girls with baskets of flowers.
We had destroyed Death and the whole town was proud of us murderers.
No more Death in the world. Perhaps only murder...
