Horror 101, Monday

"Today is the day of your final," Mitchell intoned, then clapped his hands, grinning. "We'll be starting off with a few written questions. But after that, I've got something else for you."

He dumped a stack of papers on his desk. It, and several other flat surfaces in the area - including some of the students' desks - had acquired a cup of tea.

"We've talked about a great many fears over the past few weeks," he continued, "But the main one, the most quintessentially human one is the fear of death. The fear of being gone from this Earth, from what we are, the whole lot. Most of our fears come down to that: death."

"So to finish up your final," he continued, sitting down, "I've invited a friend in to talk about it. While you're writing, I want you all to come up with one question you'd like to ask about death, and she will answer it." He peered into the room, searching for Chloe if she was there and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, she doesn't bite."

He tapped his pen on the desk. "Now, get started! You've got thirty minutes."

"That's the idea. Or he fails you and you have to take the whole thing over and spend another term with him." The hardship of it all.

Kate put on a horrified face. "Definitely wouldn't want that to happen."

Spending time with one of the few friends she'd have left once nearly everyone else graduated? Eww. "So, I guess I should try avoiding that."

She thought for a moment. Something not terribly profound. Death was not something Kate was too anxious to know more about.

"Do you miss tea? Like, does that kind of thing still feel... I dunno, important?"

And Annie was more than grateful for a simple question. "Oh God, yes. What I'd give to taste something. Anything. Doesn't have to be tea. At this point I'd settle for pickled herring kebabs."
