You hide behind a tree. Perhaps Death will follow the path and get lost, you reason to yourself.

Glancing around, you notice some tempting blueberries. There is no sign of Death in pursuit…

You peek around the tree, relaxing for the first time in ages. Birds are singing, there’s a sweet smell of pine. Even the battle seems now very far off.

A ceasefire, perhaps.

Or a truce.

You step out from the tree and start picking the delicious berries, cramming them into your mouth.

“Damn, these are good,” you murmur.

“Yes,” says a grim voice. “And poisonous. Welcome back.”

You are dead.
