Part II: For love of death
Death, like most things, is poetry. It's romance. There's a spell at the beginning where there's distrust, denial and smitten flirting with the idea but there is always the inevitable surrender. Within these moments, there's such a beautiful swoon. A loving embrace between a reaper and the client who will not admit his or her own death. Like a child, they can be held with assurance of sweet release as they regail you with all the things in their life that they'll miss or all the things in their life that they'd never get to do were they to admit death or in the actual words they mean to say, "defeat."
The client is the most fragile because what's up ahead for them is unknown to even me but what's behind is what they cling to because it represents a clear world that they can understand. I both pity them, envy them and at times hate them because of how they may feel conflicted at the beginning, but those who go to heaven will know such warmth for eternity.
As an angel and one of His first creations, I get to reap the benefits of knowing gods love but always being at an arms length because of the hierchy of heaven. Just like some sort of nightmare creature, however, I chose this route and would be remiss were I to deny that this power weren't spectacular on its own. The only problem is finding things to do with eternity.
The reaping of a soul is like sex because for a short period of time, a reaper must take the soul within him to carry it to heaven because souls have no wings as we do. Those that are dropped become lost souls and can be very nasty to reclaim so it's easier to simply carry a soul within our own and bring it to wherever it has to go.
Going to heaven is easier than going to hell. A good soul has a warmth to it and is at rest with god even before they go to dwell in his garden but an evil soul going to hell will try very hard to claw its way through you and get out. Honestly, it's worse than bad indigestion.
Being that j am the Grim, j get only large and important clients. This makes it worse on my when I try to ferry them. As I said, those going to heaven are only hard because their warmth is enough to make you weep but those going to hell must be trapped or tricked or worse: dragged.
Do not let the new testament of Jesus Christ fool you, God is still by all standards wrathful, only on a different plane of existence. I have seen good men dragged to hell for not accepting his word and evil men in heaven who played for the right team in heaven. Either way, their humanity is gone once they become a spirit and they dwell in the rapture of a beautiful dream.
