Reaper: Undertake

This is my first attempt at a short story because why the hell not, right? The beginning is a little shaky seeing as I'm still trying to find my bearings with this story. I have no summary...hate them

Reaper

Undertake

Preface

I hate writing, and you know that.

I wanted to talk to you and I had everything constructed out perfectly, and yet I couldn’t tell you face to face because for some reason you frustrate me or just fascinate me to a point where I either shout at you, terrify you or just stare at you.

Therefore I decided to write a letter to you. It’s better suited that way because I know how much you love reading and writing. So here I go: Before you left, I wanted to tell you a story. I know how much you like stories…

I wanted to tell you how I found the other Reapers, and why I was so desperate to be rid of them. And no matter how far I wondered, how many souls I took, our paths always crossed. At one point, they crossed when there was death, assassinations and murder everywhere. I would abandon them again and again until it was decided by who you call God, and I call Father that we would unite and work together. Of course I unwilling started the Reapers Society during a pinnacle moment in Human History. It seems like a bad joke, one society was created while another shattered.

Anyway, it took a rather long while before the Society was officially created. I was rather difficult to get a hold of, according to the other Reapers. I’d like to blame my introverted personality and my lack of favour of anything in general, but it was because of a woman. She had similar traits as you. She was headstrong, kind, confident and intelligent. And yet she was so different, she was conceited, manipulative and oblivious to what was happening around her. She didn’t fascinate me the way you do, though she did grab my attention. I like to believe that was what made her death so interesting.

It was a beautiful moment in history, really. Humanity was starting to think for themselves, break away from being told how to live and sit with whatever decision the King made and be happy with it. Humanity was fickle though. They were bloodthirsty, feeble and though they began thinking for themselves, they still followed the decisions of others which infuriated me. Three steps forward, one back.

There was another woman, too. But I will get to her later. For now, I hope that this will help you understand the Reapers. Though I hope it helps you understand me a little more. Get a clearer picture of me so that I don’t frighten you as much as I already do. I’ve written down all my memories, all my meetings in new English because I know you don’t understand French.

I really hope you can start trusting me. I wasn’t always the person I am now…

 

Yours Truly,

Grim Reaper

P.S. Stay safe. I’d hate to collect your soul early. Return to me safely. I’m not creepy, I promise.

A/N: Hello, hi! I'm new to WritersCafe.org and I am soooo excited to share my work with you. I'm not 100% sure if this story was the way to do it as it's my first attempt at a Short Story and at this moment I only have one chapter for it and NO REVIEWS.

(Which is horrible for a Writer to endure because how am I supposed to know if the story is good or not?)

So I'm hoping you will help me out! :) Any reviews, tips, comments etc will be more than welcome.

And just to give you a very small summary of my story (and I mean really small. I can't write summaries), so here we go: The Grim Reaper has always worked alone, so working at the crucial moment at the French Revolution was no big deal. Until his boss told him to gather the other Reapers Grim had created over the centuries and get organized. Grim always worked alone, so he was unhappy about this. Ironic, one society was to be created while another fell apart.

Author's Note

It is my first attempt at a Short Story so for me, I think it starts off a little slow. If there are any grammar errors or spelling mistakes, I do apologize and I probably didn't pick them up.

Hope you like it :)

First off --- I would restructure this format of your work...the above should go in your Author's Note...and leave the story line by itself...not to confuse your reader more with other than the plot...as for the body of your work it's fine and delete the title --- that's already at the top...this sounds nonchalant of a beginning of a letter...and the Grim Reaper as the sender...unless that's your goal to make it not so serious...and have a comical side type feel of this work...as for the grammar and spelling seems a go...just not enough to go by with what is presented...you do give a bit of a summary...for us...but still not much else...
