Date Of Death or Date With Death ?

01. Date Of Death Or Date With Death ? -

The Chariot, or Because I Could Not Stop For Death
- by Emily Dickinson (1890)

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.
Yes.

02. Jimmy Mack ? He Ain't Comin' Back -
Gunned down by his pal. I repeat, preppie redshirts, one and all.

03. Classic Scene -
Travis searches the farmer's rooms. He locates the man's license so he can add a proper DOB and DOD to the cross. Even though he blames himself a lot in the midst of a ZA, Travis comes through and does the right thing.

04. Hero Of Old -
Travis is looking like the mythological hero Jason. All he needs is some Argonauts and a boat. A golden fleece is not always made from material.

07. Maddie Tries At Comfort -
She empathises with Travis and blames him not. She levels with Alicia, saying that Nick was the one to watch over and that Alicia will always land on her feet. She had to. Meanwhile, zombies are re-appearing on the beach.

08. All Together Now -
With the exception of Nick and Ofelia, the group has re-united.
Salazar and Celia the Bruja are unaccounted for.

The Horror Hotel has some new guests. (40 plus)

Zombies are multiplying.

09. From Alan Seeger (1888–1916) - I Have a Rendezvous with Death
 
I have a rendezvous with Death 
At some disputed barricade, 
When Spring comes back with rustling shade 
And apple-blossoms fill the air — 
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair. 
  
It may be he shall take my hand 
And lead me into his dark land. 
And close my eyes and quench my breath — 
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death 
On some scarred slope of battered hill, 
When Spring comes round again this year 
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
  
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down, 
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, 
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, 
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
 
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town, 
When Spring trips north again this year, 
And I to my pledged word am true, 
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

And all their songs are sad
