Our fates were determined long
before our current existence.
But if you're fortunate enough,
Death will put yours in its pocket
and simply forget to empty it out
before its time to do laundry!
And...
If Death doesn't deliver your
fate within twenty four hours,
you won't be charged for it!
You'll just have to live with it!
