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.

"Feel free to take a breather if you need it," Death suggested, his fingers gently combing through the strands of my bob-cut-styled hair.

I shook my head, noticeably calmer than before. "The next memory probably won't be as bad as the previous one. Let's continue."

"You sure?" He asked one last time.

"Positive," I nodded determinedly.

Hesitantly, Death snapped his fingers. The In-Between changed its setting to my university's campus. However, the university was livelier than usual.

In this memory, the campus was celebrating the university's foundation day. Instead of having boring classes, the university has prepared a Carnival-like celebration on the school grounds.
