The day starts like any other day. I wake up and am ready for another boring yet stressful day at work. But when I walk to the road, get in my car and start it, I see the passenger door open. And Death sits down and closes the door. And as he closes it, he turns to me and says, “No need to start the car, it’s time to go.”
It takes me a minute to process that after all this time Death is finally here and that he wants me. A little shaken I turn to face him, and through tears I tell him, “I’ve waited for you for so long. Every night I have longed for you but you never came. Why did you wait so long? I tried everything, I gave everything for you, but you never showed. Why-” I stop as my voice starts to break. And that's when I feel death's warm arms around me and to my surprise I feel his tears stinging my face.
“I was there all of those nights. Every night that you cried and called out to me I was there. I longed to embrace you, to welcome you home, but that I could not do. For every time that I tried to get near to you, the angels would attack me and cast me away. But I am here now. I am here for you and I will never leave you. Please come with me, and please, do not look back.” Death pulls back as he slowly reaches for my hand. And without a second thought, I reach for it. Since then and for eternity, I am Death’s and Death is mine.
