278-Oscar Wilde: Skyrockets in Flight

Two literary fairy tales from Irish writer Oscar Wilde. On the first, we'll see that even fireworks need spa days. Is that what wallowing in the mud with animals is? Probably, right?

On the second, it's a story of love. Cynical, brutal love.

The creature is the Joseung Saja (저승 사자), a dapper grim reaper who's all business.
