another one bites the dust

"you dreamed of becoming the hero of the story - so how did you end up being its villain?"

Our lovely Grim Reaper's got everything sorted: his cane, his files, his hat, his sarcasm. He might seem a bit old-school at first glance, but there lies a young dead spirit underneath.

Between one job and the time-before-the-next-job, he finds himself getting pestered by his fellow colleagues at the Ministry of Death whose lives seem to be copied from a cheap daily soap.
