- Who are you? - Death, standing right behind the back of my armchair, asks in sophisticated manner as I drink my daily cup of tea. - I haven't met anyone like you. You aren't scared like them?
- What should I be scared of? - I answer languorously with another question.
- Of me, Death.
- Death? What is death for me? Just a confirmation of what I have known for a long time. I'm already dead.
- How so?
- Come with me. - I give Death an intimidating smile. We go upon the stairs only to step into complete darkness. I bring Death to the wall and light a candle. A vision of a dry, rotting heart appears before our eyes. - See, it doesn't beat anymore.
Death nods, confused.
- How are you able to talk with me, then? - She inquires.
- Oh, there is a few things that keep me "alive". Look right here. - On the bed there is a pile of cd boxes and books. Death starts to examine them, highly interested.
- What are them? - Death wants to know, holding an album of Nirvana. - Are they magical?
- Oh, yes. - I laugh. - Metallica, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Queen, Sex Pistols, My Chemical Romance... It's pure magic.
- And those? - Now she picks up a novel. I glance at the cover, already sunk in memories.
- Everyone needs some form of escapism sometimes, don't they? My favourite is reading. "Percy Jackson", "Harry Potter", "The Bell Jar", the works of Shakespeare, of romanticism - they give me an ounce of my old life.
- Aren't you tired of it? Being constantly hang between life and death? Do you want me to take you with me? - She whispers unexpectedly.
- Of course I am. - A smirk contorts my face. - Try.
Death closes her eyes, it's visible that she uses all her strength but nothing happens.
- Wierd... I can't kill you.
I smile again.
- I know.
