Clint was sitting at his desk happily typing away. He was simply answering an email from an old school friend of years back. Unexpectedly on the corner wall, just above the computer screen, a shadow of someone’s head appeared. Clint turned and looked behind him. There was no sunshine streaming into the room through the window. There was no one standing there. It became a bit scary to say the least. Clint resumed typing, but began to grow more afraid. Suddenly, curved around the shadow of the head, there appeared the shadow of the curved blade of a scythe. When his wife, Tilly, brought in a nice cup of tea, Clint was dead.
