Touching in a Totally Appropriate Way Who: Ned and Death (later Chuck) What: making good on a deal that Ned just can't resist. When: The afternoon Where: The Pie Shop Rating: Medium/Low?
It had been five hours, thirty seven minutes and fifty three seconds since the The Pie Maker had woken up the fateful October day. To say that he had been on edge would be an understatement. He was so anxious that he made entirely too many pies, which wasn't really a bad thing. There was a steady influx of customers during most of the day, but currently there was a bit of a lull. The girl named Chuck had stepped out and Ned was awaiting another girl entirely. This girl was not, strictly speaking, a girl, but instead a physical manifestation of the thing that had seemingly haunted the Pie Maker for as long as he could remember. When the bell on the door rang, he looked up, anxiously, wondering what Death would be like in person.
