A death bed vigil is like sitting on a live grenade for the rest of us.., just waiting for it to go off. There’s nothing you can do to stop it, so you want the anticipation to end, but you’re terrified that the anticipation will end. I remember last time the Reaper came to visit. You can feel his presence, it is thick and heavy. He never asks for an invitation, but he never leaves without taking a piece of your heart with him. I hate his company and his role. I’ll do what I did last time and just look through the wine glass till he leaves. The view is always better through the wine glass.

Cover made by SaniaKasegel. It is said that when we die the last thing we might hear is a lullaby. This lullaby is said to have killed people, but no one has survived the song to tell the tale. The only being that knows the truth is Death himself, for he is the one that sings this lullaby that makes us cross to our final resting place. Death knows who will die at the exact time and place from his Death List. All Death has to do is collect our souls, carry them to our final resting places, and repeat. That's it. Falling in love with a mortal on Death Row was never in the cards for Death though. Upon seeing this mortal girl he becomes infatuated with her and because of this, he spares her life.
