As she sat down in the train, happily, she started to flip through the catalogue of Death. But Death is cunning, he portrayed death in the nicest way possible, with no blood or gore, but with utmost exquisite beauty. Death (another name for the tempter Mara) has three seductive daughters, and they have their ways with humans, men and women alike. The daughters know what humans like to see, hear, feel&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The daughters are featured in the catalogue. They are perfectly poised with dramatic lighting and heavy &#8216;make-up&#8217;. The polished crocodile skin, the shiny snake skin and the smooth calf skin, perfectly fitting. She could almost see herself with that smart suit and that &#8216;it&#8217; bag. It&#8217;s tragic that she can&#8217;t see the expressions of anguish or hear the screams of pain behind the scenes. Death is &#8216;good&#8217;&#8230; how he packages death with flawless precision&#8230; as beauty, his daughters as if the very sources of happiness. I saw her grinning at skin-made stilettos.
