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.

The In-Between changed to one of my college classrooms.

In this memory, there was no ongoing lecture. Just students on stand-by as they attentively stared at their devices--phones, tablets, laptops, et cetera. 

"What's going on?" Death asked as we searched for the past me. "Oh, there you are."

She was sitting where she usually was sitting. This time, however, she was holding her phone just like the other students in the room. Death searched around, but Sunshine was not in sight. 

"Where's Sunshine?" Death queried.

"I haven't been hanging out with her ever since she told me to break up with Dante," I replied.

"Why not?"

"It became slightly awkward between us."

"I figured," Death nodded more to himself than to me. "Anyway, what's up with everyone looking at their devices so seriously?"

Before I could reply, someone in the room shouted, "It's been posted!"

He arched an eyebrow. 

"What's been posted?"
