buffy and the dead men

Looking to be entertained, preferably without 'mercials, I chose Peacock.

Something romantic?

Not this time.

Something with lots of action and guns?

Hell to the no.

Something suitable for kids?

Let's keep looking, shall we?

Something comedic, something familiar?

Now you're talking.

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer", from 1992, would do just fine.

A chick kicking ass, with not a single bullet fired.

Yes, that was perfect for tonight.

Peacock even showed it without a single ad.

(smile) 

Here are two dead men and a Buffy.

 

 

Then there's two dead men and a cat.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a dead man in a living room.

 

That's Luke Perry, playing a hipster teen.

He was 26 then.

 

He died in March of 2019, only 52 years old, after having back to back strokes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a vampire in a cape, none could best Rutger Hauer, man of my dreams.

He was 48 in this role.

 

His death was in July of 2019, just four months after Perry's death.

He was 75.

 

 

Here's Paul Reubens, playing a one-armed vampire henchman.

He was 39 years old as that wise-cracking character.

 

This was 12 years after his earlier role in which I noted his death.

He died last July, of lung cancer, just before his 71st birthday.

Then there's Donald Sutherland, as the watcher who'd seen too many vampire slayers die before him.

His age was 57 and he wore it well.

His death last month in June of this year warranted a text message from my ex.

Sutherland was a month shy of his 89th birthday.

To me, that means he was nearly the same age as my stepdad had been when he died.

 

 

 

 

 

And, now, somehow, 

after writing about all of these deaths, 

I feel much more at peace.

Right place, right time.

i thank You, God.
