An Annoying Job

The harvest has begun, there will be a lot of mowing. A lot. It all leads to a record harvest. It would be great though, she didn't like this tiring job. It's not a woman's job. But what can we do…

When she sharpened her blade, she scowled. The scythe. Why is it always a scythe? The world has moved on! As if she couldn't do it with some harvester. And those rags - frayed, scratchy material. Too cold in winter, too hot in summer. Oh, God! It's hard to be Death! And even more so during the Third World War.
