Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children #12

Synopsis

Death Takes a Holiday Eighty-six year-old Henry Jones has a lived-in face.  He  looks like a fascinating old-timer.  But, unfortunately, there are no tales of danger or intrigue in his past.  No boxcar hopping, tales of the high seas, or escapades with wild women.  It seems the random pattern of facial lines given to Henry are the only interesting thing about the elderly loner.  So one day, when the cloaked figure of death comes a-calling, Henry is more than ready to make his exit from this world.  But the Grim Reaper has not come to take HenryJones away to that long tunnel with the blinding light.  No, it seems Death is bored, and has come to hang out.
