“Of course it’s #lonely.”
“Why don’t you get out meet people?”
“I meet people every day!”
“To strip them of their mortal coil. It’s not exactly speed dating.”
“Your demonic minions aren’t friends.”
Beelzebub can’t meet Death’s hollow eyes.
“Sorry. That was hurtful.”

“They said I’d never #find you.”
“Everyone finds me.”
“No. You find them.”
“Well that’s just one perspective.”
“But I’m not dead!”
“Yes well things can change.”
“But…I found you. Death himself!”
“I get coffee here every morning! Go away! I’ll see you soon.”
“Oh…when?”

“I don’t enjoy it.”
“You don’t like your work?”
“It’s rare people are happy to see me.”
“Why not quit? Do something you #love.”
“Wait what’s happening?”
“Counselling? You’re my 4 o’clock.”
“Oh sorry. I should have introduced myself. Grim Reaper, nice to meet you.”

“Who says #grace?”
“Is that appropriate?”
“Why not? It’s traditional.”
“Yes but you’re the devil, I’m death incarnate, and…who is she again?”
“Ghost of Christmas past,” the woman in black said.
“We’re doing that now?” Death asked.
“For the reader.”
“I see…awkward.”

“You’re embarassing yourself.”
“The soul is mine!”
“Stop bleating little red goat. I’m not handing any over today.”
“You don’t-“
“If you want a #kerfuffle in front of your little friends we can do that.”
“But-“
“Not today Beelzebub. It’s…oh thingy…um… Wednesday? “

Oh for…it’s the same thing every year.”
“So I’m not dead?”
“What? Oh you’re dead it’s this ridiculous #jinx. Every year my scythe turns into this ridiculous candy cane! It’s humiliating.”
“But I’m dead?’
“You could show some sympathy this has been going on forever.”

Will I be at #peace?”
“Let me see…” the Grim Reaper rifled through a binder. It had a unicorn on the front. “Ah, there we go!”
“Well?”
“Not so much peace but there’s good news! It’s eternal and nobody likes change!”
“Eternal?”
“…damnation”
“What?”
“Nothing?”

“You could leave me here.”
“That’s not a novel #idea”
“I could stay.”
“That would be terrible.”
“For you maybe.”
“Oh no, I forget people all the time! It makes no difference to me!”
“But I don’t want to go.”
“Ah, freewill, must be nice! I’ll come back in a few years.

“That didn’t work did it?”
“I’m alive! It’s a #miracle!”
“You’re not.”
“Well I clearly am if we’re talking!”
The Grim Reaper points within his cowl with one skeletal hand. “I see death has done little to stem the tide of idiocy.”
“Oh. It’s not a miracle.”
“Quite.”
