[ WP ] The straw that broke the Grimm Reaper 's back

`` Hey did you hear? Death's gone mental'' said the portly man to his lady friend. `` Like proper mental. No one can believe it'' he giggled, his flaps of flab wiggling and shaking as he laughed. 
 
 His lady friend, a fair skinned, modestly dressed lady of a much younger age, looked up at him quizzically from her spot on the ground. `` What do you mean?'' 
 
 The portly man stifled his giggles and corrected himself on his bench, and straightened his robes. `` Well it seems like he's gotten all bent out of shape about his job, and how no one's taking him seriously. First it was Jesus offering salvation and eternity in heaven that totally undercut his game. You remember that do n't you?'' 
 
 The younger angel frowned. `` I remember how pissed he got. No one was scared of him for the longest time. Jesus was such a douche bag for doing that.'' She flicked a stone beside her mindlessly over the soft ground. It flew out, bounced a few times, and then fell over the edge of the clouds. `` Just because he's the bosses son does n't mean he gets to do that to someone.'' 
 
 `` Yes well, then Hippocrates started that crazy cult of his and that put him in the gutter for years. If he did n't outsource that Asian fellow with the horses, I bet he would have lost his job right then and there.'' 
 
 `` He's beaten the odds more than that I know'' nodded the girl. `` Every time someone comes around to undercut him, he always finds some way of rallying back'' 
 
 The fat man nodded. `` Say what you will about death, he's a resourceful guy'' The fat man adjusted his shirt again, and then reached behind him and picked a handful of berries from the bushes. `` I mean, the Spanish inquisition? Who in their right mind could have expected that to work?'' 
 
 `` Yeah I did n't see that coming. But what makes you say he's lost it now?'' 
 
 `` Well,'' began the fatter angel, stuffing his face with berries as he spoke. `` Apparently, what with vaccinations getting more and more popular, he's losing a huge chunk of his business. Apparently, people are living well past their 90s now.'' As if on cue, an elderly couple floated by, off to some wayward cloud for some refreshments no doubt. 
 
 `` Yeah they have been getting older. Our welcoming committee has had to bring in extra wingchairs.'' 
 
 `` Well whatever the case, this latest vaccination fade has made him snap. I swear, when I heard about this new plan of his to get back in the game, I thought I saw him smile'' 
 
 Astonished, the lady gasped `` No way! How's that even possible?!'' The fat man shrugged. `` So, what's his crazy idea then?'' she asked. 
 
 `` Sugar.'' 
 
 `` Sugar?'' 
 
 `` That's right. He's going to feed them sugar, put it into everything. Drinks, food, candies, heck even bread. Anything and everything he's going to put sugar in it.'' 
 
 she thought for a second. `` Well that's...'' 
 
 `` I know right? I mean, he's really lost it now'' He bellowed loudly. `` He'll have an easier time getting them to stop vaccinating themselves'' 
 
 The lady however was n't laughing. She was deep in thought. Then looking up at her mentor, she asked innocently `` Yeah, it's weird, but, has he been wrong before?'' 
 
 This made the fat man stop laughing and thought for a minute. `` I suppose never. But I mean really. Sugar? what possible harm could that do for you.''
