Summary:
When Death comes for Gramps Northrup, Gramps isn't ready to go because that would leave his grandson alone, so he uses magic to trap Death in a tree. But with Death on hiatus, others whose time has come and who are in ill and in pain, cannot be released from their suffering. Gramps begins to wonder if he has done the right thing.
