A Blunt Description of Everything

In The Beginning... There was nothing (Death's Interview)

(Itallics = interviewer, bold = Death, Normal = actions)

Hello, care to to introduce yourself to our readers?

I am Death.
I do not as such have a name, like Grimm, or Devil, or Paul, or Mary.
I am an individual of simplicity.
I am an individual of humour.
I tend to appear when no one wants me, and seem to be the reason for everything.
This is my view on the World, whether you agree or not, I cannot argue, but listen if you wish.
I am being asked questions by an interviewer, who will die someday.
This is being written by someone, who will also die someday.
And you, the reader, you too will die some day.

So you are truly death?

The only one *Death laughs*

*Laughing slightly* Well I'm glad you have accepted this interview.

I'm glad I have the time to.

Yes, yes... shall we begin?

We shall.

First question... Were you ever human? Or an angel?

*Sighing* Typical stories, no, I am not a fallen angel, nor a human, I am Death, not the Devil. Humans think I compete against some God, that I am the symbol of sin... but in reality, the symbol of sin should be humans, as they are the barers of it. I simply do my job, transferring souls from this life to the next.

So there is a Heaven?

I do not know. I don't know of a God, or a devil. There is only one other like I, and that is Life.

Do you compete with 'Life'?

Life and I must work together. Life decides when a soul is not strong enough to stay, and my job is to take them. Sometimes people make that decision themselves however.

*Bluntly* Suicide.

Yes. Suicide. And Life, nor I, can do anything about it. You were given free will, it is not I who can tell you stop, as I said, my only job is moving souls.

Do you enjoy your job?

No. I do not. I am a symbol of evil, which can be rather annoying. I dislike being judged, despite my job being so acceptable. People fear me, but I am inevitable... I get highly confused.

And lately... has work been worse?

Lately? No, there will always be death. I, in fact, am hoping it will get better. The newest generation don't like watching people die in wars. War has drastically caused me to work hard, especially with innocents, if I had a soul I would probably weep for them.
