A series I’m writing. It’s about Death and a girl named Anna.
…
“You’re back.”
“I find myself coming back here quite often.”
“You like me.”
“I’ve come to the conclusion that I love you, Anna. But know this- I most certainly do not like you.”
Anna laughs.
“You do not take me seriously. That is one of the many reasons I carry such disdain for your existence.”
“But you love me?”
“In this I am helpless.”
“I like you,”
“But you don’t love me.”
“I’m afraid of love. Truthfully, I’m not even sure I know what it is.”
“But you’re not afraid of me…”
“You’re Death, death I can handle.”
“But not Love?”
“That’s right, Love kills.”
“No, I kill.”
“You don’t kill, you’re Death. Killing is merely the manifestation- your physicality.”
“How I wish you would love me back.”
Anna shakes her head. “That would kill me.”
