The Cards of Death

Summer finally arrived and Jim Edwards and his friends Dan, Bob and Steve, all decided they would take a ride cross country on a 19th century train that was refurbished to attract tourists and show what it was like to travel on a train from that era. Jim wanted to celebrate their retirement together on a piece of history that has been forgotten.

Jim and his friends boarded the train and the train blew its whistle then slowly picked up speed down the railway through the tunnel. Jim and his friends were excited to be traveling together as friends on a 19th century train. Everything was going fine, until a stranger entered their coach seating compartment and put his carryon bag above Jim and Dan and said "I hope you all don't mind if I share your compartment because the other compartments are full."

Jim replied "I think that will be alright."
Steve chimed in and said "What is your name?"
The stranger replied as he chuckled, "Dr. Death."
Everyone started laughing and Bob asked "How did you get that name?"

"Because of these cards, as the cards spilled out onto the cabin floor." replied Dr. Death.

The men laughed and Dan stood up and got on his knees to help Dr. Death pick up his cards of death.

Dr. Death sat down on the seat and asked "Would anyone like to play?"
