STORY STARTER
What does the Grim Reaper do in their time off?
Sick Day
Yeah yeah, laugh all you want. And immortal being catching a common cold, how hilarious. But that’s besides the point. I woke up this morning with a sniffle and decided it wasn’t worth it, so I called in sick and that was that. But then it hit me;
Now what?
I haven’t had a day off since that Jesus guy kicked the can, but that was less of a day off and more of a “we can’t allow you within 20 feet of a scythe less you kill the wrong guy again” kind of day because APERRANTLY that wasn’t our department, and I got a stern warning from the guy upstairs. But again, getting off topic here.
So what does a semi immortal being do with a day off? Well I started by day like I usually do accept much later, got up, fed all 6 of my cats and drank my morning tea. It was rather peaceful actually. Then of course I checked my communication device. It’s similar to what you mortals would label as a “phone” accept it’s far more advanced. I get a few “texts” from my colleagues asking where I am, what’s going on blah blah blah, nothing too interesting. After a few minutes of this I got rather bored and made my way to my library. Now a little company secret, every reaper has a hobby that they devote most of their time to whenever they aren’t killing people. And my hobby is… books. Reading them, writing them. Collecting them, all of it. So naturally I have a rather large library, think the beauty and the beast one but bigger. I have the books organized by author alphabetically so whenever I get a new one from said author I can place it with its brethren. I’ve got all the greats, War And Peace, Animal Farm, and of course, where’s Waldo. That one though I keep in a separate shelf, my prized collection. Never have a seen a book so intuitive and humorous. Instead of telling a story with words it speaks to you in PICTURES!! Very genius indeed. Each book has a set of images filled with people and you have to find this fellow named “Waldo” I could do this for hours but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Okay sorry guys this is my first submission here and I couldn’t think of how to finish the story but I tried my best on it lol, hope you liked it!!
