Chapter 6
Martina actually found that she thoroughly enjoyed her new job judging stupid deaths. It was marvellous fun, she thought, and Death himself was really funny and an enjoyable person (if he could be called that) to work with. Unlike the fools in the DHSS. She smirked, wondering what they would have thought when they found her. She told numerous bogus people that their claims of stupid deaths were invalid, and that she could see right through them, so to speak, and had a good old laugh with her fellow judges.
She also visited the afterlife a few times. It wasn't anything special, she thought, although it was quite nice. Better than where she had come from, anyway.
Death was actually rather happy with his decision to hire Martina. She was a wonderful addition to the judging panel, he thought, and even showed that women can be powerful, even after life. She sometimes spoke to save his voice, and her authoritative tone was absolutely perfect for her position. Death wondered why she had ended it all in Earth, truth be told, as she seemed so nice and brisk. When he had spoken to her, it had appeared that she just hadn't felt wanted or respected there, though she assured him that wasn't the case here. Death had to wonder, though, if she didn't have any positive moments. From what he could gather, a man named Joey had been a memorable figure in her life on Earth. She smiled fondly whenever she said that name, even though she swore that she hated the man. Death wasn't too sure.
