A
few months back Parker posted a sample from his short story The Death
of Death and I was intrigued. Just from the sample he gave I wanted
to know if there was more to it. I knew that he wrote but had never
seen his stuff. Hell, I'd “acted” in one of his short films but
never had an opportunity to see how he wrote. He sent me the story
and I was pissed because it was something I could never write.
One
of the things I love most about reading certain authors like Phillip
K. Dick, Walter Mosley, and Derek Landy, is that they will do
something that makes me know that I am not at a level that is
possible.
This story, The Death of Death, made me think this and for
that I owe Parker a punch in the throat.
