carlin death delver grim grimreaper king looking-glass reaper shortstory spangler stephen stephenking thereapersimage

A long time ago Stephen King wrote a short story called The Reaper's Image. I was given a challenge to write an alternative ending to my favorite short story and this is the one I chose. This is the alternative ending to The Reaper's Image starting with the last line of the original story. I hope you like it!

Death Contract by Im_Vena

When the Grim Reaper named Saint came to Mary-not to collect her soul, but to offer her a contract to become a living Grim Reaper-everything changed. But what would she do if, along the way, she fell in love with the Reaper himself? Would she choose to remain alive, or to die peacefully? *** After the death of Mary's father, her life fell apart. She couldn't accept that she hadn't seen the Grim Reaper come to take her father, nor realised what was happening sooner. That was when Mary began to think that her ability to see death and how those around her would die was pointless. In despair, she attempted to take her own life-only to find herself waking up in the bodies of others. But then came the Grim Reaper named Saint-not to claim her soul, but to offer her a contract: to become a living Grim Reaper. Everything changed from that moment. Yet, as she walked this strange new path, she found herself falling in love with the very Reaper who changed her fate. Now, she faces an impossible choice: will she choose to live on, burdened by the weight of death, or find peace in letting go? Language: English God May Bless Us!

Death's Duty by writerbrittanyb

(18+) *Complete/Unedited* ---- "You are death." I heard the grin in his tone. "Death's duty is to take care of the already departed. Newly deceased, and previously deceased alike." ***** Morrigan Wraith lives a double life; one not many would think to question. While on the outside she looks like a normal human detective, underneath all of that lies a grim reaper. Reapers were created at the beginning of time, formed to be unemotional and detached as a soul's transport to either Heaven or Hell. But Morrigan is unlike the rest. She was created with a defective heart - one that felt emotion, and one that got her into more trouble than she ever imagined. (18+ for language, violence, and sexual situations)

Too Dark for you to Love by Lisa_Evette

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

Interesting (AfterDeath) by thatsveryinteresting

Geno works as a security guard for a prison. He's a cop. He works in a prison full to the brim with horny prisoners, murderers, and delinquents. He spends his working hours getting hit on, and ensuring that the imprisoned stay imprisoned. It's not the most glamorous life. Reaper is a criminal, a contract killer, a murderer. He kills people for a living. Life's pretty good... That is until he is found, and thrown in a prison to rot. Behind bars is not how he saw the rest of his life playing out, but hey, these things happen. Of course, behind bars is very, very boring. But, when Reaper is transferred to the same prison that Geno works at, life for both of them gets just a little more... Interesting. ~~~~~ Cover art is not by me.

A Book of Dust and Breath by eacomiskey

Max has spent the past several thousand lifetimes as a Reaper among humans and, despite the pleasures of a tidy country home with a well-dusted library and a finely tuned Harley, he's starting to get bored. His best friend gives him some advice: "Drink some scotch. Bed a woman. Join a rock band. Get it out of your system, and get back to your dutiful service." Max tried, but he ended up getting drunk, marrying the girl in Vegas, and accidentally triggering a chain of events that could end with the destruction of the human race. Now he needs to make things right again but the Reaper quickly learns that the magic of being human comes with one grim reality.

Mr. Mortality & the Heart Collector by Darling-Writes

The year is 1896, and Michael MacBranain is in desperate need of a job. Fortunately for him (or perhaps not-so-fortunately), the Grim Reaper is also in desperate need of an assistant! The trouble is, Michael is terribly superstitious and loathes himself for his own cowardice. But with a dark supernatural force on the loose in New York City, there may be more at stake for Michael and his employer than just job security! ~~~ A multi-part short story, serving as a prototype for the future web-serial "Mortality", the episodic adventures of the Grim Reaper and his assistant. While this story is not as well-researched or polished as I hope for the actual series to be, it does give something of an idea of what I'm going for character and story-wise. I hope you enjoy this debut~ ... (Cover art by my sibling: https://www.deviantart.com/stramberrymilkyway )
