Time to Die
George is a taxi driver. He enjoys his job and works as hard as he can. The way that he is poor makes him work around seventeen hours including overnight hours. One night while driving a passenger in the dark empty streets, he sees an old man standing, waving for him, and seeking a ride.
George stops for him and explains that he needs to drop the man that is already with him then he will be able to give him a ride. The old man stares at the driver and tells him he sees no one sitting with him in the vehicle. The driver starts laughing, thinking that the old man is joking.
Quietly, the passenger whom is sitting beside George tells him that he is not a real human. He tells him that he is the death angel coming to grab his soul. George starts shaking. The old man tells him that he is sent by God to perform his order, telling George to leave the car immediately and run to the nearest church to pray and seek for the final forgiveness.
With craziness and fear, George believes the situation. He does all what the old man says, finishes his prayer and spends the rest of the night in church. The next day, George wakes alive from a short sleep, glad that the death angel left him alone, and starts walking to the location where he left his car to start a new day.
Full of luckiness and excitement, he arrives to the spot where the car is supposed to be. He suddenly sees nothing left, the two men and the car are not there. He calls the police and tells them about the situation, then finds out that the two men are a part of a gang specialized in car stealing and robbery.
