Current mood: hate tests!

`Nyargh´
Never mind that title...^^°

Right...I´ve been quiet for a few days cuz I was kinda busy, shouldn´t even sit here right now cuz I still have to learn for two tests tomorrow (chemistry and history) but I really felt like typing something up now and I´m waiting for the shower to be free X)

So what happened over the weekend?
Not much actually. Thursday and Friday I spent mostly relaxing, drawing, reading and watchin TV. On Thursday night I happened to see "The Twilight Zone" which I don´t see very often since it runs that late. Anyways, I saw an episode that I´d actually seen already...(Sometimes I wonder why I always catch the same episodes when I watch a show that I normally can´t watch O.o It´s always like that!) But I didn´t care cuz I loved that particular ep! I like it that much that I´m now going to retell the story...or at least summ it up ^^ here ya go:

The story starts in a hospital right in the middle of an emergency operation. A young doctor who happened to be to that hospital for only two days did his best to save the life of a man with a gun shot wound. And in fact he succeeded. He went out of the OR right in time to receive the next emergency call being a suicide attempt. The nurse told him that man who had hung himself... but about 20 hours ago and he still was alive and ,considering the circumstances, well.
The young doc asked the patient for his name and he whispered "Death", of course the doc didn´t take him serious. As he checked on his patient later, he asked him once again who he was. "As I told you before...I´m the Death" the patient quitly replied, his voice still hoarse. The young doc didn´t believe him,(okay who would? ^^) but he kept talking to him, curious what could make a man commit suicide and claim he´s the Death. So he explained he was sick of it...thousands of years that he brought death to the world and he couldn´t stand it anymore so he decided to quit. At that point he almost had the doc convinced, by saying and showing him things that only Death in person could do (I´ll save my breath on those). So after Death said he wanted to quit the Doc looked at him curiously and asked "So...noone will die anymore?" and as Death nodded solemnly he blurted out "Yes! What are you waiting for? Do it" and Death did... Seconds later the doc got an emergency call and dashed off. There had been a major accident with many victims, terribly wounded and screaming in agony. What was strange was that some of them had no pulse anymore and still lived and cried in pain. And it dawned on the young doc what this had to mean. He ran out of the ER, searched the whole hospital for the man who called himself Death, to find him on the roof standing at the edge with a rose in his hands and looking into the sky. The doc ran up to him and told him he had to resume his work. Death asked him if he was serious and he approved. He had learned that people not dying more didn´t mean people wouldn´t get hurt anymore and it was therefore no use. And death resumed his work letting the rose in his hand wither. By that the young doc suddenly cried out in pain grabbing his head and swaying. Death slowly let him lower himself onto a bench that was standing there and he sat cradling his head and moaning... and suddenly it was over. He stood up and looked at the man before him, obviously confused. Death told him to turn around and as he did so he could see ...himself lying on the bench unmoving. "What is this?!" he asked Death exasperated. "You´re dead" the man stated "it was aneurysma, the headache you had all the time" and he rememberd. He had indeed had a headache but had put it off for lack of sleep. Before he and Death left for the next world he had one last question; if Death had quit his business already when he had saved that man earlier and Death told him with a smile "he wouldn´t have lived without you" And with that they walked right off the roof top and through air until they vanished in the far distance...
(there was more stuff but I don´t remember every detail)

So? How did ya like the story? As I said, I love it... it´s really thought provoking. I really admire the writers of The Twilight Zone for their stories. It´s not the only one that amazed me...and I get the feeling it won´t be the last.

Oh crap...it´s late already and I still gotta cram for school so...I´ll write the rest tomorrow. About the weekend, my weird dreams and especially about a movie I sacrifized precious sleeping time for last night (I got three hours total ^^°): Memento!

So be prepared, muahahaha...ahem ^^
