Death.

Chapter One- Lauren

I could feel it. I could feel my life slipping away from me, and as I faded away from the living world, I felt a chill go straight through my body. I scrunched my eyes closed, and as I fell down the deep dark hole known as 'Dying', I prepared myself for what was to come.

I opened my eyes, and all I saw was darkness surrounding me. Not the hospital bed I just was in, but never ending darkness. I look all around, and all I see is darkness. Black. Then, a figure starts to appear, walking towards me. 'Here comes 'Death'... the dark, cruel creature who stole the life from all those before', I thought. The figure came closer and closer, with his footsteps ringing through the darkness. I felt my heart drop to my stomach. I knew my time was up. As the creature started coming into my view, I closed my eyes. I imagined the tall, cruel and evil Grim Reaper in front of me, with his scythe... ready to take me to Heaven or Hell. I opened my eyes, and in front of me, I saw— not the Grim Reaper. 'This must be a joke... a practical joke that Death is playing on me', I think in my head. In front of me, I saw... a dork. He was pale and skinny, with dark hair falling onto his eyes, wearing jeans and a hoodie with a terrible science pun.
"Hi... errrr, I'm Death, welcome to death", he muttered
"You gotta be kidding me... you're Death?!" I exclaimed, still amazed
"Yeah... it's not really what you expected huh?" He sounded so awkward, with his hand running through his greasy black hair.
