In this modern day suburban town, one percent of all fatalities come about
in the most peculiar way. Deaths—eight-foot-tall, silver-gray creatures—
send a letter (“Dear So-and-So, your days are numbered”) to whomever
is chosen for a departure, telling them to wrap up their lives and do the
things they always wanted to do before they have to “depart.” When
sixteen-year-old Gabriela receives her notice, she is, of course devastated.

From dusting and fluffing to menu planning and decorating, homeowners put a lot of work into planning an at-home gathering, especially around the holidays. But despite all the preparations, the most likely source of trouble is often overlooked.
According to a recent Delta Faucet survey of one thousand homeowners, only one in five homeowners worried about plumbing-related issues when planning a party and just 10 percent consulted a professional plumber to address any potential problems. Interestingly, though, respondents reported a toilet malfunction would have the greatest impact on a party, more significant than running out of food or a major appliance breaking down.
