Waltz with Death

"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die." Betrayed. Battered. Broken. Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire. That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side. Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.

Klaus sat frozen on his chair, his eyes wide as saucers and his lips slightly agape. The color drained from his face as he struggled to form a coherent response, yet his voice failed him.

"I said I want to break up with you," Evangeline repeated, her tone firm and determined.

He wasn't sure that he heard her correctly at first. But now that he was sure that he did, his usually composed demeanor shattered entirely upon hearing Evangeline's words, leaving him unable to move in shock. 

The In-Between shifted its form into Cafe Perry, the same cafe where the high school sweetheart first got together and also the same place where they will part ways.

"How befitting," Death commented, sounding amused at the irony of the location.

"It truly was," I nodded in agreement, my expression distant.
