Mrs. Morrison was too busy to die. At least that’s what she told Death when she caught him creeping up on her from the corner of her eye. “I’m far too busy to die today,” she said without looking up from the biscuit dough she kneaded between strong calloused fingers. “Why don’t you come around in a bit?”
