Yet another entry for the 55 word contest. I can't get enough of it
Hiram knew his end was near; after overwhelming illness and loss, his suffering would soon be over.

The angel of death materialised, reciting sepulchrally, “Hiram Bott, it is your time."  The pause seemed interminable.

"Oh damn, wrong again; I must be getting old.  You’ve still got ten years left.” The angel vanished leaving Hiram devastated.
