Deadline

DEADline - something you need to beat, to die...

If there was a skipping competition, he would beat anyone in it. He
skipped her mother's birthday, he skipped his birthday celebration, he skipped
his and gf's anniversary, he skipped his dinner, he skipped a night's sleep, he
skipped his doctor's appointment, he skipped his lunch, he skipped his brother's
son graduation, he skipped his bestfriend's wedding, he skipped another night's sleep, he skipped and skipped and skipped every significant moment in his life and every significant moment in the life of people that mattered to him. He skipped everything just to beat the deadline that his boss gave him.
And so, as soon as he turned in his work, he died immediately. And expectedly, his boss skipped his funeral.
