Soundtrack: Vanitas X Reader

Intro

I watched as the thing Dad called a "casket" was lowered into the ground, the sunlight bouncing off the slick black surface. Mom loved days like this but the last few days she was alive, it was raining. The rain always made her sad. And when she was sad, I was sad. Now she's gone.

Yeah, it starts out depressing and ends with a cliffhanger. And it's really short! But this is just the intro. Any questions, corrections in my spelling or grammar, and statements of belief are appreciated~ I should have the first chapter out tomorrow (err.. Later today. It's 5am here and I haven't gone to bed yet.) But if I don't, feel free to bug me until I post it.
