My heart is making its last beat
My lungs are taking their last breath
My eyes will never see the sun rise again
The time has come to say a last goodbye to this world
Death, my guardian for this last journey
I'm ready; lead my soul into the realm no living has ever seen
Yet where all of us will end
Look at my sins, my virtues, what I've done
And after your final judgement
Bring me to the place where I belong
Be it Heaven or Hell

The sounds of soft, rhythmic footsteps echoed through the halls of the Soul Reaper library where the Magic Plays were stored. A young woman wandered through the tall, dusty shelves that were filled with uncountable books. Each of them unique, each of them with its own story, the story of a human's life.
She always loved to read in them, to her humans were simply fascinating. They never failed to surprise you in what they were capable of, for better or for worse. She didn't know any other beings that were so various in the way they were. A human's soul could be filled with kindness till its last corner, yet another could show the horror of hell. And the path a human takes could change at every minute, to evil or good.
She continued her way through the long labyrinth-alike halls till she finally reached the Personnel Department, after some more walking she stood in front of an office door and knocked.
"Come in."
She opened the door and slowly walked in. Her eyes wandered around in the room and she blinked in confusion. No one seemed to be there.
"Hey Willie, where are you?"
She could hear a grumble from behind a huge pile of papers on the desk in the middle of the office. The next second William T. Spears came up from behind them, pushing up his glasses with his scythe, giving her an irritated look.
"Evelyn Fay, its Mr. Spears or at least William for you if you are not capable to use proper manners," her superior explained, not missiung the chance to call her by her fully name.
"Yeah, yeah, sorry."
He sighed at the young woman who was currently playing with a strain of her light brown hair while waiting for him to continue. It was rare to see someone like her as there barely were any female Shinigami. Though, her mossy green eyes and the delicate glasses she was wearing, like all the Shinigami did, gave away her true nature.
While William was in thought Evelyn was starting to carefully poke the pile of papers in front of him. William's face almost showed a sign of shock for a second, already seeing the papers all messed up, lying on the ground. He quickly pulled himself together and cleared his throat while pushing up his glasses once more.
"Stop that. If they fall down you have to clean them up."
She immediately pulled her hand away and chuckled nervously.
"Sorry, I'm just amazed how thoroughly you managed to pile them up, seriously this is almost strange." She looked around in the office and gave him a look. "Though, it fits with the rest of the room. Man, your office is really too clean, noting is lying around. It looks like no one is ever in here."
William sighed, "Ten points taken from your result in the final employment test because of unfitting behaviour towards a superior."
"Wait what? Just because I said something about your office?"
"And for calling me…" he put up a face, "Willie…"
"Not fair! I can't afford to lose any points and-"
Her eyes widened, "One moment, to be in the final phase of the test I would have to have succeeded in the written part."
A grin appeared on the young woman's face, "You mean-"
The other Shinigami shook his head, "How you did is beyond me but yes, you passed it. You are now almost a full Shinigami. That if you don't screw it up, what you certainly will if you keep this behaviour."
Evelyn saluted, "Yes sir, understood!"
"Are you mocking me?"
"Of course not, I would never do such a thing." She was proud managing to keep up a straight face while saying this.
William just sighed, "You are a pretty hopeless case but you managed the test so you are going to get a chance."
He walked over to a large locker, opened it and took something out. "That means you'll also get your own death scythe."
The girl was beaming with excitement, "I've waited so long for this day."
William gave her a look, "It could have come sooner, you have talent but you lack discipline. Anyway, here you go, I've already brought it here."
With these words he went to a nearby locker, opened it and handed Evelyn a scythe with a round, jagged blade at the edge.
"This is a new model and your own unique death-scythe, we call it a string trimmer or strimmer for short, its motorized and the blade rotates. It should be suited well for beginners like you."
Evelyn pouted, "You don't have to point that out every time."
She then turned her attention back to her scythe; her fingers slowly ran over the cold metal of the handle, the motor and at last over the silver blade that reflected her smiling face.
"I'm going to name you Trimmy."
William narrowed his eyes at her, "I don't even want to know."
"What? It fits?"
The superior Shinigami took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Can we stop this nonsense now and get to business?"
"Sure, so what is my first job?"
"Several humans died without being on the list. It seems that one of us is involved. Of course we can't tolerate that. I want you to go into the world of the living and investigate."
"Got it! Leave it to me and Trimmy!"
As she dashed off William just looked after her and sighed before preparing himself some tea.
Some time later Evelyn stood in front of the gate that leaded to the world of the living, her hands tightly around her weapon. She took a step forward and walked through it, a step into a to her complete new world.
