Death's Angel

Chapter 14

   I fall asleep and a bubble floats in front of me and I pop it. The memory appears all around me. I'm walking through an autumn forest taking photos. A man is walking behind me. It's my husband talking behind me. 

"Why are you taking so many photos of this?" He says roughly. 

"Because it's beautiful. If you looked around you maybe you could love it too. I know how much you love dead things. Look around us. Everything is dying in such a beautiful way. Orange, yellow and red. It reminds me of the color of flames. Like a Phoenix! It dies then it's reborn again bigger and better than it was before." 

"That's such a stupid comparison I've ever heard. When are we going back home?" He sounds irritated? 

"I'll join later Tony. I'm going to stay here for a little bit then come back."

"Just know the town is watching you my little sunflower. I wouldn't do anything stupid."

"I'm not I'll still be here when you come back." 

   He leaves then I look around and start walking deeper into the woods. I feel so free right now. I wish I could run and disappear from this town tiny town and change my name. Everyone in this town knows I'm a mafia wife. The Mafia would have a great fucking bounty on my head for anyone to turn me in. From a kid to an Old lady they would turn me into them. 
   I feel like I'm being watched right now more than usually. I look around to see who's watching me. It seems like no one is watching me then I turn around there's a tall guy right behind me. I step back and I get scared because I had to do a double-take. His sclera is black, his Iris is white and his pupils are black. I back up against a tree. He has to either be a demon or a creeper ready to murder me. I take a picture of him and it doesn't even have him in the photo. It's a shadow. I look back at him confused. He smiles and chuckles a bit.

"I would be a photogenic picture but I sadly don't show up on cameras. How are you doing there Regina? It's pretty cold out here." He breathes out and you can see his breath. 

"Who are you! What are you! And how do you know my name!" I'm so scared right now.

"I'm what you humans would call a grim reaper? Yeah, a grim reaper. My name is Death. I can't disclose how I know your name because your human mind can't take that."

"Are you calling me dumb now!?!" 

"What! No!! God I hate when humans get that way. Seriously, if I say anything about it you'll be so confused. Besides I like deaths to be a huge surprise. There's a lot of things that happen in the afterlife." He walks over and he puts my hand against his cheek. My face turns bright red. He feels so cold. "You can ask me 3 questions then I have to be on my way. Okay? Anything but how the afterlife works and how I know you."

   I sit there to think about what questions I get to ask him. My heart is racing right and I start to rub his cheek claim myself down.

"Is there actually God and Satan or is the Bible just a huge useless book?"

"That's a loaded question but I'll answer that for you. Yes, there is a Satan and a God. But the Bible is indeed an unnecessary book. God is a dick. There is also a 3rd form of the afterlife which is reapers."

"Are there such things that are Guardian Angels?" 

"At one point yes there was Guardian Angels. God has banned the Guardian Angels from ever coming down and watching over their loved ones. They can only watch from afar from a mirror. But don't worry, someone is watching out for you. Just know they can't interfere with your death."

"Do we get reincarnation?" 

"God that is apart of how the afterlife works. Since I have such a weak heart for you I'll answer it. Only for certain cases. If you had such a bad past life we'll give you a retry. I was supposed to be in charge of that. Would it be bad to say I want to beat someone's ass? Sadly now I have to go." He pulls me in close to him embracing me. I blush a lot and he pulls my chin up and he kisses me on my lips. I rub his forearm feeling something on it. 
   He disappears. Something deep down my body wanted him to stay and talk to me some more. How can I be in love with someone who is from the afterlife? He's dead and I'm alive. Is there any rule that he can't go falling for a human being. As my dream fades out I hear another thought from my human self. I wonder who's watching over me in the afterlife? I hope they protect me from my husband.
