So Long, and THX for all the Death

A slow load clapping resonated through the corridors.

“That’s one interesting yarn, THX . Why not tell them the real ending?â€? Krulltar stepped into the light. “You see, I meet Jeff two days later, washed up on that beach in Maui. He was mangled and beaten within an inch of his life. With his last breath, Jeff told me what THX did.â€?

“Don’t believe his lies, girlsâ€? THX interrupted.

“It’s true what THX said; Jeff wasn’t happy being death, but he didn’t tell you that once Jeff turned over the scythe and mantel of Death to him, that THX did the most un-awesome thing ever; THX turned on him like Rosie O’Donnell on a jam-filled donut.â€?

“Say it ain’t so, THX !” wailed Wall Doll.

THX raised his scythe and charged Krulltar.

Krulltar quickly read a passage the bookmarked Flicinomicon:
“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons death may die.�

A stream of light shot from the book, and struck THX causing him to tumble awkwardly and fall. Death lay dead at Krulltar’s feet.
