They worked until the work was done – not until they tired,
or until their unions compromised they break, or until they got a raise. They
were paid exactly what they asked for the work and they asked nothing for the
work. When the work was done, they stood still or found a decent place for
sitting and sat like ladies and gentlemen. They were the best the world had to
offer, and he was always adding to their offered numbers, so that there was
always a new person to meet and work alongside. He didn’t hate living society. The
necromancer simply preferred to work with professionals.

I'm scared to ask exactly what it was they were doing. Necromancer? Yikes!

When you put it like that, who wouldn't prefer to work with professionals. Love it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, the dead come in a satin-lined presentation case and if you're working with them, you only have to give them a raise once, and that's right at the start... :) St.
