RATING/WARNING(S): Teen and Up, no warnings.
WIP?/WORD COUNT:Complete, 3066
MAIN CHARACTERS: Susie and Death

FIC SUMMARY: The lesson here, Susie thinks, is that tricking Death is tricky business. How do you outwit the personification of oblivion? Chess, obviously, won’t be the answer. Or: Susie plays Calvinball with Death.

RECCER'S NOTES: It's surprisingly fun and not very morbid. The Deus ex machina is actually not quite one, but called that in story.
