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.

Horrible Forms

I finished straightening out my clothes, wrapping the cardigan over my shoulders. Behind me, Death got out of the pod, looking quite contented with himself.

Typical male.

I rolled my eyes and was about to exit the passenger car when Death offered his hand.

"Aren't you gentlemanly now?" I gasped dramatically, placing a hand on my chest. 

Death raised an eyebrow. "I'm always gentlemanly. What do you mean?"

I chuckled as I took his hand, stepping out of the gondola.

As soon as my shoes' heels were flatly on the ground, the Ferris wheel behind me disappeared. Actually, every attraction, sound, people, and all other things associated with the theme park surrounding them disintegrated into dust. 

This only meant one thing: We were already heading to the next memory.

"Evangeline?" Death called my name, standing beside me. "Are you ready?"

I looked at him, nodding.
