Here you go! The final chapter of my four-chapter story. Really hope you guys liked it. I promise that the next chapter of my main story, TSC will be posted before the end of June. Thank you so much for being patient with me
Men have been running from me since the beginning of time. They have tried to find ways of hiding. Some waste their whole lives trying to avoid the time where we will inevitably meet. But you see, I will catch up with everyone in time, for no one can outrun Death.
My job has one purpose, and one alone. Not to bring death, but to bring peace. To end the suffering of those who deserve rest. To save disease-ridden humans from a life of trouble. To congratulate the old, giving them the reward of eternal life for completing their journeys. And to rescue the tormented souls who needed to leave the living world a little earlier than planned.
Despite bringing peace to millions of souls, my work is weighted with guilt. I see the people left behind. Sobbing over the parent they just lost. Over their sibling, their friend, or their love. And upon taking the hand of the soul at their life's conclusion, I replay their life story for them, from birth to death. While the souls reminisce in their fondest memories, I am able to view the journeys of those beings up until our time of introduction.
I have seen stories that are lives some could only dream of, and lives that were left unaccomplished, mundane and average.
For those who lived their lives as any other ordinary being would, I pity them. While they stayed frozen in daily routine, a whole world was moving outside. But for those whose lives were filled with more wonder and adventure than anyone could have hoped for, I pity them as well. For now that adventure is done.
Some of the stories I've learned are both touching and devastating. Those are the stories that make my job so much harder than it needs to be. Those who are forced to meet me early, and those who beg to meet me.
It's not fair for them. They don't get to experience all of what life offers. They either spend it blind to the events of what's to come, they only live a life filled with doctors appointments and bad news, or a life filled with so much torment and taunting that they felt the only escape was me.
I'm not supposed to feel emotion , but honestly and truthfully, I do. I never show it, it would cause the soul distress and would cause a lot of worry and panic, so I mask it. Like I said, this job weighs me. But there isn't anything I can do about that. This is what I do, and I have to manage emotions. Especially considering I have the rest of eternity to do it.
