The lawyer read out the will which said that the deceased had converted his wealth into platinum and melted it into sheets which lined the coffin which they had chucked into the sea. When they went into his basement garage sure enough there was a small furnace and splashed traces of metal on the floor…<br /><br />Little did they know that he had in fact given away the platinum to his favourite charities!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-30912622030539450132013-12-09T23:07:58.440+00:002013-12-09T23:07:58.440+00:00Until recently nobody in our village / small town ...Until recently nobody in our village / small town was able to die because there were only a couple of places left in the graveyard and they were already booked and paid for. Now we can all die when we want since over the last couple of months the graveyard has been extended. The standard of the work is outrageous, the roads are infinitely better within the graveyard than they are leading to it, the new stone walls round it are the best in the area and every headstone will sit on ready made concrete foundations suitable for a skyscraper.<br /><br />No doubt each plot will cost as much as your vault...Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-33964517472973490642013-12-09T02:17:48.118+00:002013-12-09T02:17:48.118+00:00This would make a very good short story, with a mo...This would make a very good short story, with a moral point. You just need to expand it, and embellish it with some dialogue.
