Derek, clothed in his long black hooded cloak, was swinging his freshly honed 
scythe over his latest clients lawn. Perhaps, not so much a lawn, but a 
jungle. "What a life", said Derek, aka Death. "One minute I'm dealing with 
the dead, and sending them on their way, then they ban the lawnmowers, and I 
find myself, "Death", "The Grim Reaper", relegated to being a gardener".

Sometime later, Death, aka Derek, finds himself enjoying this gardening. "I've 
never used my scythe for this before", he say's to himself, and admits that 
the scythe does not contribute to greenhouse gasses, so must be a good way of 
keeping your garden in good shape, without compromising the planet.

To be continued. Watch this space.
