I'm still bleeding. I jump up and God stopped me before letting me pass through the mirror back to earth.
"Every Grim Reaper has one of these for when they don't shift on earth, it makes them harder to see. But like an invisibility mask, but depends on who you want to see you."
"Ok, thanks." I take it from him and poke my head through.
It's Maribels living room again.
"Hey there." I grin, behind the skull mask. They looked up, grabbed each other and screamed at the top of their lungs. I jump down into the floor, cloak flowing behind me and scythe in hand, I take my mask off.
"Chill out!" I laugh, dropping the scythe and mask. They stood up and gave me a group hug, holding me tight in an embrace.
I love them both, but I have work to do.
I-it's not like I won't see them again.
It's up to me to take this opportunity, this is all and nothing.
This is a blank slate, perhaps not as clean as it should be... But I've decided to join the dots and create something beautiful.
Their smiling faces faded into sadness, they know what I must do. I wipe the tears from my face, letting go of them and picking up my scythe and skull mask.
"Pray for me."
