A Talk with Death
Lezek, a well-intended but not too bright man is unaware that he is talking to Death:
“Where did you say your business was?” said Lezek. “Is it far?”
NO FURTHER THAN THE THICKNESS OF A SHADOW, said Death. WHERE THE FIRST PRIMAL CELL WAS, THERE WAS I ALSO. WHERE MAN IS, THERE AM I. WHEN THE LAST LIFE CRAWLS UNDER FREEZING STARS, THERE WILL I BE.
“Ah,” said Lesek, “you get around a bit, then.”
