Essence Hall is a brilliant, no-nonsense surgeon who believes in science, facts, and the cold certainty of life and death - but never in love. When she meets Angelo, a darkly charming man with a razor-sharp wit and a habit of showing up at the exact moment someone takes their last breath, she writes him off as an oddball. But Angelo isn't just strange - he's the Grim Reaper. And though he can't lie - an eternal curse tied to his existence - Essence refuses to believe him. Intrigued by her unshakable skepticism, Angelo becomes determined to learn more about the messy, unpredictable nature of human life - and why a woman who holds so many hearts in her hands seems so unwilling to open her own. As sarcasm turns to sincerity and death's touch begins to feel a little more like a caress, Essence must face an impossible truth: sometimes love, like death, comes when you least expect it.

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 )
