It was past TV watching time and everything was quiet and dark.
Out of nowhere I hear someone (a man) yelling out.
“Oh!” “Oh!”
I thought maybe somebody was getting mugged but it didn’t sound like that.
After some calling around and a fair amount of looking outside I saw the police car.
Then I heard the commotion outside.
Yes, a neighbor died, I found out shortly thereafter.
While it was happening I felt the presence of something that I could not name.
Now I know it was the Angel of Death.
May God have mercy.
