In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair. Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure. With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper. Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love. As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life. August 2023 #1 in dieforyou

"What if I don't want to recover?" she mumbles in her half-dead state. "You have to, for me" I try to convince her. She doesn't look at me.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is move on, that's what Cassedy has always been told. But when she 'dies', she isn't ready to go. The Grim Reaper is waiting for her to help her pass into the great beyond. The afterlife. Heaven. That bright light at the end of the tunnel called life. But she cannot pass over. She is tethered to earth by her heart. It is being kept beating by a ventilator that is forcing air through her lungs when her spirit is long gone. The only thing left to do is wait with death. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Cassedy felt tears fall down her face. Her knees collapsed and she fell to the floor as she started crying harder and harder until the tears were racing down her face. Grim grabbed her, holding her as she cried herself out. For an hour, Grim sat there with her. When all of her tears were gone, he wiped her away the streaks they had made down her face. "I'm never gonna get better..." she whispered. One last tear fell down her face as she look at the hospital bed where her body was. She was never going to be that girl again. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Sorry if this book is sad. If you don't like books that discuss topics like cancer or death, I suggest you read a different book. But I hope you enjoy the book if you do read it! ?

I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }
