Libra T Zhan finished his work. Dressed in black, from hat to boot, walking on the streets of Time's Square. He sat on a roadside café, takes out a brown catalogue, flipped a few pages and stopped when he opened a page which has marked today's date. He put a stamp on a person's photo. - "DONE"
He was a grim reaper, his work was to collect souls after death and sent to The Supreme Death God, Yama. They will be judged their past deeds and will process further to reincarnation.
This café was his one of the favourite place in the human realm. It was just on a side of a bus stop. The place has all elements of the monotonous city life of machine-like people.
Libra T Zhan found this interesting. He liked to watch those human being, how hard they try to live with fake hopes of being happy in that small life span. And one day, they, the grim reapers will collect their souls away.
Grim Reapers do not die or get aged. They have already died once. Their age is what at the age they have died. Libra T Zhan died at 30. So, he was 30 years old grim reaper.
As they do not die, they only have to see people dying. Every day, two or three to millions - And those crying around them...
No matter what the weather is, or the mood. They will never miss their duty.
No one can see a grim reaper, or feel him, or hear him. They pass through every 'objects' and 'humans' of this world. But they can see or hear humans and others.
Libra T Zhan flipped the next page to check the time of his next job.
"Oh, my next work is after 4 days! Wah! Finally, I got some free time!" He yawned.
Then he read the target's details.
"What is that? Does it mean suicide? Sigh! He is so young. I always want to know what the reason behind someone's suicide is... I don't know it is the same for everyone or it is only me. As I don't recall why I did the same..."
Suicide considered as a 'sin' as you are taking your life breaking the lifespan you are given by the Almighty God. The grim reaper was who committed suicide in their life. Not everyone becomes Grim Reaper though, and not just after death too.
