The Lost Grim Reaper - Short Story

The God of Death, Thanatos, leaves his home to prove he is more than the Grim Reaper.

The God of peaceful death, Thanatos, is hated for his association with death. He takes souls from Earth to the Underworld, sending them on their way, whether it be to servitude or reincarnation for another chance at life. Despite his kindness to the humans who have passed, due to the war breaking out on Earth, they have blamed him and given him the name "Grim Reaper". The stories spread to the clouds, leaving him alone among the Gods and Goddesses. He is bothered by the nickname, eventually forcing him away from the clouds to make up for the mistakes he's made, and to help the ones who are harmed by the death of friends or family.
