"I used to be a simple man." He looks down to inspect the medium cane with a black finish.
"I've been doing this for as long as I can remember." He fix the collar of his fitted black suit to tighten the black tie back into place.
A ringing began to resonate from far, "Time to meet a soul." Death appears near a dead man on the floor.
Looking over to his right hand a 9mm gun and an empty casing lay only a few inches from the body.
"Poor guy," Death said with shame.
Moving closer to the body, he reaches out to the man's chest with his right hand. He begin lifting his right hand up from the man's chest, and a blue light followed.
"W-where am I?" The souls light flickers.
He stands up facing the soul after looking over the body of the dead man.
"My friend you are dead but you already know that, I call this place the Vale," Death explains.
The souls light begins to flicker again, "Who are you?"
"They call me Death," he slams his cane into the floor soon after the souls light begins to fade away.
"Wait, I have more questions!" The blue light flickers for the last time after disappearing completely.
"First soul of the day," Death pulls out a book from his suit, "Ah, what's the man's name again," he says while tapping his right foot steadily on the wooden floor.
"Ah, Dustin Hayes," Death stops tapping his foot and writes the man's name in the book.
"You are the 400th person this year to commit suicide in America." Soon after Death puts the book back in the pocket of his suit.
"2018is becoming a gruesome year."
Another ringing began again.
"Time to go."
Death appear's in a medium sized room walls covered in blue paint looking down he noticed the next soul "james silvan," grabs book from the pocket of his suit and writes the boys name down.
Death finished writing down the boys name, putting the book back into the pocket of his suit.
He leans over putting his hand on the boys chest slowly lifting up like before , a blue light followed.
"Am I dead" the light flickered.
"Yes" Death says, he turns around facing the blue soul ,and beginning to raise his cane to send the soul off.
"Wait i have a question!" The souls light flickers brightly.
"Whats your question boy" Death says with slight disgust.
"Will i go to heaven" the souls light flickers slightly.
"I do not know" Death slams his cane into the ground sending the child's soul off.
"That is the last soul for the week" Death says with relief .
Death opens a rift like door that goes from the vale to the physical plain.
