I didn't win the @99fiction competition...

[agilebrit]

So I'ma post the story I wrote for that here. It will also go on the backs of my business cards, in rotation with the other two. I've decided I don't like the title much, so I'm excising that.

And, go:

Everyone loses the race against Death sometime, but I wouldn't go without a fight. I raised my sword, while he stared down at me in what might

Awesome story! I loved "what might have been bemusement if skulls had expressions."

I was tempted to put Death's dialogue in all caps, but that's just a little too derivative, so I womanfully refrained. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

That is entirely fun! And I'm glad my questions helped a bit.

[agilebrit]

They helped a lot! Thank you. And I'm glad you liked this one. I had fun with it. :)
