The realization fills him with even greater fear.   He realizes he's all alone.   He stops trying to follow the speaker.   He sits as before however.   He doesn't know what to do.   This goes on for a while.   Suddenly a thought crosses Hwbrgdtse's mind that death may have gone away.   He finds the prospect wonderful.   He hopes it's true.   He feels it'd be then as if nothing had happened.   He quickly turns his head around again.   He looks.   Death is sitting as before.   It's still grinning.   It's looking a Hwbrgdtse.   Hwbrgdtse then realizes death has come for him.   He realizes this is the reason no-one has noticed it.   It's invisible to everyone but him.   For some reason this calms Hwbrgdtse down.   He no longer feels afraid.   His heartbeat slows down.   He looks at death.  There's an empty chair next to it.   Hwbrgdtse realizes suddenly death might want him to sit in the chair.   He asks with gestures if death wants him to do it. Death nods that it does.   It goes on grinning.   Hwbrgdtse obediently gets up.   He goes over to death.   He passes in front of it. Hwbrgdtse sits down in the chair. He observes no-one   has paid any attention to him.   This confirms his suspicion about death being invisible to everyone but him. He realizes he's become invisible too.   For some reason this calms him down even more.   Now he's perfectly calm.   He feels almost good.   He's looking straight ahead.   He cannot see death. He's aware of it on his left however.   He sees the speaker and the other people.   He's completely indifferent   about them.   It's as if they really weren't there.   It's as if they were merely a memory.   Hwbrgdtse can also hear the speaker's words very clearly now.   He can follow them very well.   They don't absorb his attention at all however.   It's as if they had no meaning. Or rather it's as if their meaning had no meaning.   Hwbrgdtse gets bored with time.   He wishes death would get going. He knows death has come to take him away.   He wishes' it'd do it. He knows he can't urge death however. He knows he has to be patient.   He knows death will take him away a the proper time. He knows there's a good reason for its not doing it yet.   He knows it doesn't do it so as to annoy him. He knows death is good.   He continues waiting.   Eventually death gets up.   Hwbrgdtse feels it didn't take long at all. He can hear death get up and see it out of the corner of his eye.   Death doesn't signal to Hwbrgdtse in any way. He knows he has follow it however.   He gets up too.   He follows death. Death goes to the door.   It opens the door. It passes through the door.   It leaves the door open.   Hwbrgdtse passes through the door after death.   There's darkness all around.   Hwbrgdtse closes the door.
