    ~ THE TALES OF KRIMSON MASK ~         GODFATHER DEATH

''   ~O    nce upon a time,, in a land far, far away, in a time long, long ago, there lived a single poor Mother who had to work day and night just to give her two babies bread. At the time, the Mother decided that she had to have a godparent watch over her little babies in case she could not financially continue, because their was no providing father. The Mother went out to the village road intending to ask the first person she met to be the children’s godfather.

The first person she met was the good Lord who knew exactly why the Mother was coming to Him.

 God : “Poor lady, I am sorry for you. I will hold your little children at the baptismal font and will take of them all the days of their lives.”

Mother: “Who are you?”

 God : “I am the Good Lord.”

Mother: “I do not want you to be the godfather. You give to the rich and let the poor starve.”

''Mother spoke this way because she had no idea how wisely God portions out wealth and poverty. So she turned away from the Lord and continued forth. Suddenly, the Devil prowled next to her.

Devil: “Poor lady, what is troubling you? If you take me as the children’s sponsor, I will give them gold heaped high and wide beyond what any king could ever dream of.”

Mother: “Who are you?”

Devil: “I am the Devil.”

Mother: “Then I do not want you to be the godfather. You trick men and lead them astray.”

So she turned from the Devil and continued forth. She went on in the village until bone-thin Death walked up to her.

Death: “Choose me as the godfather.”

Mother: “Who are you?”

Death: “I am Death who makes all men equal.”

Mother: “Yes. You are the right one. You take from the rich and the poor without distinction. You do not lead men astray. You will be the godfather. “

Death: “I will make your children famous. Everyone will remember their names when their time has come.”

Mother: “Great. The baptism is next Sunday. Be there on time.”

''At the baptismal ceremony, Death appeared just as he had said and stood there as a proper godfather should. He watched as the baby boy and baby girl had water splashed on their foreheads. The Mother tied a green velvet hood on the baby boy and red velvet hood on the baby girl. Godfather Death cradled the little baby girl in his bony arms.

Death: “What’s her name?”

Mother: “She doesn’t have a real name. I just call her Little Red Riding Hood.”

''Godfather Death looked at the girl and smirked to himself.

Death: “I like this one.”
