There is a woman who follows Death, I promise you. She is much worse than he is. I met them after an admittedly stupid mistake. I was flying down I-35, fucking with my phone.

It was his job to love, of course. His is the last embrace everyone feels and, occasionally, the first. There was a pride to the work that nothing could match, as he knew people in the most intimate way. Agatha was her name, he believed.

[WP]Describe a person in a way that could also almost be a description for a pizza.
"Do you have a BandAid perchance? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you." This was the pick-up line he used to greet me. Yeah he was cheesy, but I once really started eating away at his personality I realized he could be deep. He was versatile. Some days he acted sweet like Pineapple, and other days he acted h...

Jose is a cool dude. His appearance may be a little crusty, but he has plenty of dough and always buys the finest designer clothes and greases his hair. His jokes may seem cheesy, but he just has a strange sense of humor. Ache has been another big problem for Jose, who's face often fights the war against pepperoni like...

There was something fishy about Andy, something odd but distinctive and unique. He didn't have many friends, but the friends he did have swore that he was the best guy they ever had. Everyone else? Hated him. Couldn't stand to even be near him. Said he left a bad taste in their mouths.

He was thick and juicy, stacked to the brim with all the works. It's amazing how something so seemingly small can lift all that weight. His build was a bit round, but shapely enough to be desirable. If you cut him, he'd ooze red all over the place, but that's just what you wanted: someone to sink your teeth into. As yo...

"Why would I EVER want to be a spectator?" "Many souls find it comforting to swathe themselves in the familiar world. Most like to see at least a glimpse of mourning for their old selves, watch their children grow and the like. I am largely unconcerned by their motives. My only job is to make sure they have the choice...

'So choose' He stood before me, not a man or a being, just a shadow. Do I live again, unable to remember my wife or children, in a new life. Or do I observe them for all eternity, watching them die one by one, neither choice seemed humane. 'CHOOSE'. The shadow bellowed at me. I stood there, unable to move, unable to t...

Why did I choose this for myself? At the time I loved living so much. My death was sudden--- a car accident, brain damage, and the brief coma before life support was switched off. I wanted to see my four year old grow up, watch my wife and see if she was okay. I wanted to see my parents and my siblings and still feel ...

“Daddy, what happened?” The darkness was comforting, but his eyes opened slowly for the voice. A thousand needles jabbed his skull, but they slowly slid out as the world came into focus. He put his hands out, arms almost failing as they struggled to push him off the mud and grass beneath him. He kept his head down, n...

Rolling dice is tough when you can't hold them, so the Spectators merely took bets. They bet with the only currency they had; years of eternity. They had plenty, maybe. Eternity is funny like that: one can't be sure how long it will turn out to be. Some of them figured that they might be let in to beyond world a littl...

"So, how long until the end of time?" Trent asks. "I'm afraid I can't disclose that information," the light-man says. "Well, why not? I either choose to be reincarnated and lose all my memories, or I choose to Spectate, in which case I can only tell other spectators anyway. I don't see the problem." "It's part of pr...

Aleaha sat at her terminal and stared into the void of the glowing screen that stood in front of her. The man on the screen was in a screaming fight with his second wife. As far as Aleaha could tell, the man was making the same set of mistakes that caused his first wife to leave; he would, eventually, run this one out ...

“Life isn't a spectator sport.” I've always hated that saying. Even if that twaddle was the fact of the matter, I never have been very good at sports and more importantly, this isn't life. The problem with life is that you don't get a say in the matter, just a slap and a hearty, “Good luck!” from a doctor if they'...

This is crazy because I'm watching Ghosts for the first time.
