Oh, no! Betty thought. Not another fictional character -
and from Terry
Pratchett's 'Discworld' books this time! Then she had another, even
more unsettling,
thought: Wait a minute. If I can see him, then that means...
Betty stood transfixed on the sidewalk, staring at the figure of Death only she could see. Shouldn't he be more sombre, not skipping and whistling like that? Was she cracking up, or was he really there? Then a car came round the corner too fast, and saw the stationary UPS truck too late to stop. Pulling out around it was not an option, for another vehicle was coming the other way. The driver took his only other option, and veered up onto the sidewalk, blaring his horn in a frantic effort to get the woman who was just stood there - right in his path - to move.
