Synopsis for "An Aura of Death!"
A funeral director's assistant gains the ability to see the angel of death hovering over people who are about to die and it brings in business. When he asks the director to make him a partner the director tells him to get out because he doesn't need him or his recommendations. He tells the assistant that the townspeople refer to him as the angel of death since he is always offering his services at the scene of a death. He tells the agitated funeral director that he is not the angel of death because the angel of death is swooping down on the funeral director. The assistant takes over the dead man's business.
