Death with Interruptions
The story is of a time in a country where no one dies, because death (with a small ‘d’) has decided that be the case. Animals, plants, whatever die, but people do not. That can’t go on for too long because of the problems mentioned regarding keeping people around who should be dead. We all expect it to happen to others, eventually. The story ends with a romantic twist – we see it coming, but perhaps not with the force that it hits us.
Of course, its the telling through writing that sets this story apart from others, and puts us in the company of literature.
