Petition asks Death to bring Sir Terry Pratchett back

(Terry Pratchett) Fans swiftly set up a petition calling on "Death" to return the beloved writer.
The petition on Change.Org - called "Reinstate Terry Pratchett" - has already received thousands of signatures.
The description reads: "Because Terry Pratchett said this: 'There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.'"
Far from being a scary figure, Sir Terry presented "Death" as a witty guy with an unpopular job to do.
