Something I read somewhere else:-COME ALONG, SIR. IT'S TIME TO GO HOME.
The author shrugged his shoulders and followed the skeletal figure. "I made you, you know." He said conversationally.
Death
nodded. YOU DID. He said, rubbing his chin in a rueful gesture. I
SUPPOSE IT'S FITTING, IN A WAY. STILL, I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE THE
ENDING.
"Well, I suppose I can tell you," The author leaned
upward and whispered something into Death's... side of the head. One
thing that was odd about being a skull was that you had no ears to
whisper into.
Death nodded. THAT'S A GOOD ENDING.
The author shrugged his shoulders, and adjusted his hat as he started to fade. "It was a good story."

Requiet en Pachem, Sir Terry.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
