I Dreamed I Died

The one where humanity became immortal.

[March 10 -Sunday] 

-17:43- 

The little apartment was silent, the sun shining through the colored windows, an old school bag abandoned by the entrance door.

In the bathroom, Nils was muttering to himself, "-wanna play this game? I'm gonna play, I'll make your life an endless nightmare."

A knife, golden, sat on the sink, a First aid kit next to it.

The boy rolled up his sleeves, the little light above his head was on, casting its orange glow across the small room.

On the floor, some strange drawings in white paint, brush discarded somewhere on the room.

Nils looked at his reflection in the mirror, his face red in anger but otherwise pale skinned, brown eyes and wild red hair that had been subject to mockery.

He breathes out, he got this,
No turning back.

Taking the knife, he thinks about his cat, Mika, for a second, if anything goes wrong, she'll go to his neighbor.. 

Everything's ready, from the firecrackers in his right pocket to mop and bucket next to the door.

Slowly, he traces along his veins with the knife, hands steady.

Blood drip into the sink, the light flicker and a million thought fly through his head, none staying long enough for him to catch them.

A minute pass, he start to feel dizzy, "Come on, why are you taking so long?"

As if to answer him, a light breeze lift his hair and more blood leave his body, the light turns off and a bony hand grab his shoulder.

"Well hello there! I wasn't expecting you so soon." 

A tall figure, wearing a dark cloak seeming as if made of the night sky, now stood beside Nils. 

It's face, hidden in the hood, was pale as snow, but nowhere near as innocent. 

Death.

Fear rushed in his body, he showed none of it, keeping a neutral expression he said "Yeah, sometimes plan changes.." His right hand grabbed the firecrackers, knife still in his left "I guess life was too boring for me!"

*Crack* 

Light erupted in the room.
Waisting no time, Nils lunges forward, effectively stabbing the entity in the chest.

"Oh.." It's non-existent eyebrows shot up "You know that won't do anything right? Were you expecting to eliminate me with just a- Oh!"

The drawings on the floor had started glowing.

Nils smirk, twisting the knife "I'm well informed, and this 'just a knife' is covered in gold. Which is apparently very effective against Gods!" Ashes floats in the air. "And what you're standing on is a strong petrification rune, also called 'Death's symbol', Funny no?" 

The clock hanging on the kitchen wall can be heard ticking in the whole apartment for a moment, as Death's hands start fading away it ask "May I know why would you do such a thing? Are you aware that I do not control who dies, I just collect their soul. It is not my fault she-" 

"Do not talk about her. I know."
Nils' breathing stopped at the mention of 'her' "She's not the reason I'm doing this.  Some people think they're invincible, that they can do whatever they want because they have money. Without Death around, no one will die anymore, they'll be 'invincible', and they'll suffer because everyone else will be too and they'll want revenge." 

Somewhere in his explanation he had let go of the knife, leaving it in the God's heart, his hands left to shake slightly on his sides.

Death made a noise of agreement.

"So you're creating chaos, What makes you so sure It'll work?" It tilted it's skull on the side, it's arms now almost completely gone.
Nils smiled.

"Nothing, it's a leap of faith I guess!"

His voice was getting strained, black spots dancing in his eyes.

"Good luck then." Death closed it's eyes, if it was even possible, and the rest of it's body faded away, leaving only a dark mass on the floor.

The rune now back to being only white lines.

Outside, the sun was still shining, a little boy walking his dog, an old couple buying flowers, as if everything was still normal, as if they could still die any moment.
The boy tripped on a rock.

Nils turned to the sink and poured cold water on his arm, the water turning pink.

Soon enough, they'll know.
