[Sticks]

The long cloak of death trailed in the leaves as he wondered the streets of Hadley wood, carrying his lap top (The powers that be had suggested he replace his scythe with it).

He was looking for someone......

He eyed up and down the street.

He saw the address he was looking for, and made his way up the path. It was in effect two houses in one, but split into an upstairs flat and a downstairs flat.

He was informed that a young couple were living together as if they were man and wife in the upstairs flat.

With his skeletal hand Death knocked loudly on the door to the GROUND floor flat.

An elderly gent came and opened the door.

"Are Mister Reaper" said the gentleman "You have come at last about our arrangement"

Slowly the Death nodded his head.

"Just a few formalities before we conclude things"

At this, Death pulled a sheet of papers from his cloak and passed then onto the man. The gent looked at them and grunted.

Deaths bony hand reached into his cloak andproduced a.....




.....cheque

"Oh good I assume thatis the deposit money and six months rent in advance. I am sure you will be happy here, and Hadley Wood is so conveinient for communting to the College for Angels Seraphs and Cherubs. If you ask nicely the young Mr C upstairs might give you a lift to the nearest Tube station"

With that the gentleman handed the key to death and left. Death clicked his fingers and his suitcases appeared.

He picked them up and lumbered into make him self home in the ground floor flat.

Death had finally come to Hadley Wood

and it was paid for by the college as well
