*****
Asher Jansen is one of the many new resident doctors that have joined St. Bernard Hospital. In sync with his luck, there's a freaking pandemic. Hello Covid-19! He doesn't mind working 80+ hours a week and his daily main source of nutrition being a protein shake and instant noodles. Not at all when he gets to work alongside his secret crush, the girl of his dreams, the beautiful and smart yet friendly, Kaylee Fisher. The only problem is Kaylee only has eyes for their medical director Jacob Parker.
Okay, that's a lie. Aside from Kaylee already liking someone else, Asher is probably the gold standard of dorks that sports super thick glasses and rotates between only two pairs of chucks. So yeah, zero fashion sense.
But all that changes when a certain grim reaper takes a vacation on Earth and borrows Asher's body. The term 'borrow' here being used very loosely. And what will happen when Asher's soul doesn't go to sleep like it's supposed to when the grim reaper takes over his body?
Let's find out.

AN: This is an Open Novella Contest 2021 entry. Story is based off of prompt #36.
36. You are Death, and you are obligated to roam the Earth for one week every hundred years to learn about what the humans are up to these days. The problem? You get stuck on Earth during 2020. Definitely not a social hour.
