Death came to Hollywood. He came and he went, but before he went he stopped for a drink.

I was tending bar and watching the Dodger game and wondering how my pops was doing when I heard the whinny of a horse. A horse? My bar, located in the middle of Hollywood, wasn’t near any horse ranches, or ranches of any sort, for that matter. Any horse that came through these parts would have been a stage prop. Stage props, as far as I was aware, didn’t whinny.

Frowning, I turned and looked out the bar’s smoked glass doors and there, sure enough, was a pale mare. A man dressed in black had just slipped out of the saddle and was now throwing the reins around something nearby, perhaps the payphone near the front doors.

Finally, the man in black stepped out of the shadows and moved towards me. Due to his long, flowing black robe, I couldn’t see his feet, and the effect of his movement was startling. He seemed to glide, or float across the floor. As he approached, I saw that something was attached to his back.

Jesus, is that a sword?

No, it was bigger, longer. Crooked.

It was a scythe.

What the hell?

He stopped before me. No, he hovered before me. He seemed to study me from beneath the depths of his hood, his face still hidden in shadows. Finally, he reached out a pale white hand and pulled out a nearby stool and sat...
