no.71 - The Blog Reaper

Grim though he may be, the Blog Reaper is kind of a dick. In response to demon no.69, I received the following pronouncement from "anonymous":

"Your blog is dead."

I know most blogs are visited by the Blog Reaper. The interweb is littered with blog corpses. Few last more than a few months, which means the reaper likes to take them young.

I had hoped that if this moment came, I would be able to speak to him — perhaps strike some kind of a bargain. I spent my formative years watching shadowy reruns of the Twilight Zone and it left me with the strong impression I'd have a chance to make a pitch.
But no.

"Your blog is dead." with no return address. This powerful demon who decides which blogs live and which blogs die made his decision and swiped his scythe, or clicked his mouse or banged on the delete button with his bony finger.

Either that or it was some jackass with no social skills.
