The Destroyer Of Worlds

I often drive past a bespoke tailor's and have long looked for an excuse to go inside. The shop appears to originate in other times, when service and individuality mattered. Today, the traffic causes me to stop directly outside and I notice, for the first time, that the tailor's surname is De'Ath.

De'Ath. A popular solution to the surname Death. It makes me chuckle, and wonder if he specialises in funeral shrouds.

A tailor named Mr. Death –– that sounds like a comedy stunt out of an Alec Guinness film.

It's rare to see those shops anymore. I've also wanted a reason to go inside.

I knew a Mr De'Ath. He died very young.
