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.

To say that this memory was eventful was an understatement. 

Aside from the rollercoaster, they also tried different rides, attractions, stalls, and food. By the time the sun was setting, there was only one last ride they hadn't tried yet.

"Where to?" Evangeline asked.

"How about the Ferris wheel?" Dante suggested the obvious answer since they literally exhausted all options possible. "It'd be nice to watch the sunset from there.

She flashed a smile at him before turning her heels to sprint toward their last destination.

"Evangeline, wait!" He called, extending his hands out.

"Let's see who gets there first! She shouted, the wind muffling her voice. 

"But you're already running!" 

"See you there, loser!" 

She didn't even bother giving him a second glance. She just continued running, the wind blowing her hair as she moved at high speed.

Dante sighed in irritation but started running after her anyway.
