Janice stood behind the podium, as still as the bronze sculpture that stood in the foyer outside the hotel meeting room. Shock and disbelief had stunned her.
“I don’t know why you’d be surprised. Many have predicted this possibility. But your success in taking it from the theoretical to total success is awe inspiring. Truly fantastic.” Death, in his full blackness, stood center-stage, framed by the bright PowerSlide presentation projected on the large screen behind him. He was admiring the carnage.
Janice slowly turned her gaze from Death to the small auditorium. At every table, bodies lay slumped over, eyes open and tongues lolling out. Though Death had delivered the final blow, her words, her ideas, her slides, her presentation had been the instrument that had laid the audience low.
“Death by PowerSlide,” mused Death. “Amazingly possible!”
