Death on the Beach
Written after I saw a French and Saunders skit on the iconic scene where the Knight plays chess with Death on the beach, from Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal . This has been previously posted on ABC, so it might look familiar. There are a few stories I'm putting back up.

God knows, apparently
