In a dark void devoided of any sense of life, Craig found himself laying on the lap of a very deadly woman. Her long raven hair as black as the shadows, her face painted like she was a part of the day of the dead

Death: Hello again. I think now is a much more convenient time for us to chat.

Craig:!??

Sitting up as if he was laying on a vicious monster, Craig hopped to the other end of this ethereal couch they were on. Looking around, Craig could barely make out any details of his surroundings. Like a dream detail were vague and foggy.

Looking back at Lady Death, the fibers of his being screamed at the presence of her.

Death:(smiles) Let's get introductions out of the way.

Death: I am Death. The Grim Reaper or whatever name you like.

Death: And no. I'm not some embodiment, some puny god of death, or anything adjacent.

Death: Death. The end. The genuine article.

Craig: O-oh... So did I finally... D-die?

Death; Pft!

She holds a hand in front of her mouth as she laughs.

Death: Horohorohorohoro~!

Death: As if.

Death: No, you see, this is about how you're constantly going in and out of my home without even saying hello.

Death: Now I know you can't help it... But I would ask of you a teensy little favor.

Craig: I-I don't know... I'm really busy... I'm a superhero you know-

Death: You shall do as I ask or suffer a eternity in limbo!

Craig:!!!?

Death: Horohorohoro! I'm kidding.

Craig: You're jokes suck. I almost had a heart attack!

Death; Listen, if you do this favor for me, I can offer you something quite interesting.

Craig: Hm?

Death: Perhaps... An ability to help your heroic endeavors...?

Craig:?!

Craig: W-well... Let's say I agree... What exactly would you have me do?

Death: Oh, it's quite simple. You'd be my messenger and tell someone my little message.

Craig: Oh... I can do that...! Yeah, sure. Wh-what do you want me to say?

Death: You may paraphrase it however you like, but the core of the message is that... In terms you'd understand...

Death: "I'm breaking up with you".
