His Name Is Death
Tears flowed down her face.
The chain broke as the coffin was lowered.
She gasped and covered her face. She wanted to run, but her love for him kept her standing in front of his grave.
The grave-keeper struggled with the chain and the casket. He pulled the chain, causing the casket to drop into the grave.
The lady fainted when the casket entered the grave.
The grave-keeper said, “Carry her and put her into the hearse. I’ll bury him. Then, we will go to the hall.”
She woke up and said, “Death.”
“That was his name?”
She nodded. “Death.”
