Death

Most mortals fear it, the dread that comes when you realise it creeps up on you, never knowing when it may strike. Some, are lucky, they get to see the signs. Others, not so much

But to you? Death was different. Death was a woman with dark hair and the widest green eyes

Death was Rio. And Rio was your girlfriend

It's wrong, against all rules of the universe for a being like her to fall for a mortal like you. Because one day, she'll have to be the one to see you go. Just like the countless souls she's seen before. God, you don't know how she does it

Boo.

She's busy on most days, doing what Death does. But she takes a break now and then to come see none other than her favourite human. You

And turning around, you're met with that toothy grin she always greets you with. Who could ever be afraid of Death when this is the human form she's chosen to show you. Not to mention it's the one you fell head over heels for as well

Dance with me?

Ah right. Her appearance nearly makes you forget that you were midway making dinner in the little cottage the two of you shared, music playing softly in the back

Who are you to say no to Death
