"Oh please let us do nothing interesting tonight please," said Susan. Susan and Rick were in the Land of the Dead.

"Okay, sure," said Rick.

"Let's just not bother," said Susan.

"Okay," said Rick.

"What's on TV?"

He flipped to Channel Five. The Girl was still there. "Nothing new."

"Good." Susan enjoyed living in the Land of the Dead. Rick, too. Everything was simple.

Susan wandered around the room listlessly for awhile. After a time, so did he.

Three days later not much happened. Then, Susan did her hair. Rick liked it. "I like your hair," he said.

"How much?" she said.

The next day Rick brought her flowers. She accepted them graciously. But she wasn't really into flowers.

They bought a dog, moved out to the country, moved back to the city, bought another dog, sold both dogs.

A new President was elected.

Susan started wearing more blue clothes; Rick, less. Also, Rick bought a VCR.

Susan visited her mother. "How are ya, Mom?"

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"Fine."

Rick got a library card and read a book by Tom Clancy.

One day Susan walked along the street. The next day she washed some dishes.

Two months later their child Brad was born.

In fifth grade Brad got run over by a bus.

Rick got promoted.

They had another child who ended up going to college on the other end of the Land of the Dead.

Rick died. Then, Susan died.
