THE PSICHOPATH OLD WOMAN

  

    

   A man stopped to rest in front of a cemetery, sat on the floor, leaned against the wall and said:

   -There are two worlds. One of them is into and the other one is off of each of us.  

    The man looked  at the stars and continued saying:

   -The world that is into each of us is limited, but the other one is unlimited.

    And then an old woman holding a scythe appeared to the man interrupting his monologue:

   -You are fooled. The world that is into each of us is unlimited and the other one is limited.

   The man was scared and asked:

   -Are you going to take me?

   But the old woman answered:

   -No, I am not going.

   The man asked again:

   -But aren’t you the death?

   And the old woman said:

   -I am only a crazy old woman that likes to kill people, but I don’t know for where you go after I cut your neck.
