"Left on Baal St., that's what he said, right?"
I'd been driving for a long time and didn't seem to be going anywhere. I was starting to get the feeling that I was completely lost. It had been a while since I'd left the city and I was now driving on a country road.
The road took me into the forest and eventually up a hill. As I went further up I noticed that all the trees around me were dead. Also, the sky had turned completely black despite it being early afternoon at that point. The only light came from a blood red moon that shone brightly in the sky.
Eventually, I was able to spot a large gate and beyond that a huge black mansion. My car died and when I stepped out the gate opened. I made my way past it and onto a pathway made of a shiny dark rocks. On both sides I was flanked by dead trees on which sat red-eyed crows that silently looked down at me. At the end of the path stood a huge black door which opened as I approached it.
I stood out in front of the open door for a few minutes until a pair of green lights appeared from within the darkness of the home. The air around me grew cold and I could vaguely hear some creepy organ music playing somewhere in the distance. A putrid smell accompanied the figure that emerged from the shadows. It was Death. He was clad in a long, flowing, black robe that seemed to be made of some constantly moving shadowy substance. He floated a few inches above the ground and his posture was hunched. His arms were held out in front of him in an odd way, like a T-rex. Nothing, save his bony hands, was left unhidden by his robe. Even his face was totally obscured by the hood he wore. In fact I wasn't quite sure he had a face since I'd never actually seen it. I had occasionally seen two green lights that I assumed were his eyes but that was about it. A red-eyed crow like the ones I'd seen outside sat atop his shoulder.
"Hi."
"Hello."
Death spoke in a very quiet voice that sounded like the wind blowing some dry leaves around. He didn't say anything after he greeted me, he just motioned slightly with his hand which made a floating, green ball of flames appear in front of him. Then he turned and walked further into his house. He stopped after a few seconds and just kinda stood (floated) there.
I didn't really know what to do. I didn't know if I should follow him or what. Eventually the crow on Death's shoulder turned its head 360° degrees and cawed at me.
"Follow!"
Its voice was very deep and raspy which startled me for a second but I eventually did as I was told. So I entered Death's house and followed after him as he went...somewhere. I couldn't really see anything save him and the green flame, so I had no idea where I was going.
Death eventually came to a stop in front of a white door. The doorknob was composed of a skeletal hand which grabbed hold of Death's hand when he reached out to open it.
Beyond it was what I can only assume was the dining room. Various skeletal hands jutted out of the walls and they held candles with green flames. In the middle was a long white table. It was engraved with various images of things such as: screaming children, rotting corpses and ghostly figures engulfed in flames. There were only two chairs by the table which were both composed of various bones. They both looked highly uncomfortable. Aside from the table there was no other furniture save a large, black grandfather clock standing up against the wall opposite the head of the table. From what I could tell the face of the clock was composed of a strange, constantly swirling ghostly substance ahe hands floated in mid air.
Death gave me a while to admire the scenery. Then he made his way towards one of the chairs and promptly sat down.
"Sit!" commanded the crow, noticing that I'd hesitated for a moment.
