I've met this tall dark stranger people cower in fear from. He's nothing to be afraid of. Those who shy away from him are the dishonorable and cowardly. This man who is associated with darkness and anger is nothing but a sweet-heart.
Death is to be welcomed like a long lost friend. He is a strange and wise man who loves each and all. Death puts all kindness to shame and helps many in need without them knowing. Whether he helped by giving sickness, weakness, age or sadness, he helped. Sickness leads to health in future years. Weakness gives you strength for what is to come. Age gives unbelievable wisdom to those who need it. Sadness is the gateway to immeasurable happiness. While many loathe times of fatigue and sadness, they are unaware of the help that is being given to them. These are all things that death is giving. After all he doesn't want hell overrun with weak and sick idiots.
No one would.
If you had to watch over a hot, stuffy domain that everyone hated, you might want some intelligent company. Little do many know Death is lonely and bored. He feels constantly hated for where he lives and how he helps.
You would too.
Tell me dear reader what would you do if the world avaided you if possible, and cowered from you? Would you be driven into loneliness and boredom? I can assure you that you would do the same after a while.
We met on the day of my death. He came to take me away on June 7th, 2000. I was alone in my apartment when he came. I didnt know who he was or why he was there, my first thoughts of him were of how handsome he was.
"Hello my dear," He said softly, "its time to leave."
At that moment i understood. The funny thing was is that i didnt even feel upset for myself. I felt upset for Death. The look in his eyes was one of misery and sadness. I wondered what he had been through and how long he had been doing this. I thought about how lonely he must be and the things he had seen. I felt very distraught and troubled for this mman in front of me.
"Before you take me," I said, "can i ask you a question."
He sighed a deep sigh, probably expecting "What comes now?" "Where will i go?" or something along those lines. I almost thought he was going to say no.
"I guess," he mumbled.
"What do you remember?"
