Hym and Hur are a young pair that never age and are truly good beings. In this story they are looking to play a prank on mankind that will bring goodness, not evil, to the world.  When Hym and Hur bargain to choose one person who can save people from Death things do not go as they planned.They choose Archie, a starving artist who is hoping to finally get a gallery opening.  His girlfriend Sarah has had enough of his dead end job and is waiting to break up with him.  When Sarah gets hit by a bus everything changes for them thanks to Death's bargain.The writing is fun and kept me interested until the end.  I usually feel as though there isn't much of a story in short stories but this time the story line just worked.  It's fairy tale like and the characters of Hym and Hur are whimsical while the character of Death is sneaky.
