Life and Death often meet in Waffle House parking lots. Contrary to popular belief, it's not easy being an ageless inevitable entity and sometimes hash browns are in order. Also, they're twins. It's good to catch up every now and then. Sometimes they swap stories. They always know the same people, they each meet them once.
     Life likes to know how each persons story ends. All of the little details. Every person matters to life, no matter who they were in their time on earth.
     Death likes to know how each person's story starts. the exact circumstances if possible. The contrast is what's interesting to them. More frequently than anyone knows, no one starts and ends their journey in the same place.
     No one sees them as they sit at the bar, but two plates of hash browns and two cups of coffee will find their way to the end of the counter.
     It's nice, this time together, it reminds them they aren't so alone.
