Our story starts with a young girl about 5 years old she had just finished colouring her book when her mother called upstairs for dinner "sweetheart come here I've made pasta" pasta ahh her favourite meal she couldn't wait to eat it she was so excited and so she dashed almost tripping but she forgot something she went back downstairs and got her drawing her mother called out again "honey are you coming to eat?" "Yes I just wanted to get something to show you" replied the girl "alright honey just don't take too long I wouldn't want you to eat the pasta cold" and with that she went upstairs again and sat on the dinner table her mom asked "so what was it that you wanted to show me" the girl pulled out a paper with excitement showing a drawing of her mom and her dad she was on the middle of them holding their hands "oh you drew this all by yourself? Impressive" said her mom the girl couldn't help but smile with a spoonful of pasta on her mouth she swallowed her food and said "thank you" she hugged her mother and then the doorbell *who could it be?* Thought the girl her mom went to open the door and it was her dad the girl was so excited she went and hugged her father and showed him her drawing "wow that's such a cute drawing! Let's put it on the fridge" the girl was so happy she followed her dad as he grabbed a magnet and hung it on the fridge the mom pulled aside the girl's father "we should talk" said the mother "honey can you go downstairs to your room?" The girl said yes and went to her room she started making another drawing but she was curious what were her parents talking about? But then she heard shouting was it her? Was she the reason they were mad at each other? What did she do? Questions raised through her head and then she heard a sentence through the door "we can't afford" they can't afford what? They couldn't afford to have her? Did her parents hate her? Were they gonna kick her out? No they weren't gonna kick her out because she was gonna leave and with that she quietly made her way upstairs and went through the front door before anyone noticed she was out of the house she quickly ran with tears running down her face she couldn't believe it did her own parents hate her? She made her way to the road and a car approached she stopped mid way everything stopped and when the car approached her...nothing happened? Was she okay? She began walking back home that was a scary experience for her but she was lost *why did I leave? Of course my parents love me!* She thought as she made her way back home then a woman appeared Infront of her wearing a dark cloak *maybe she could help me find my way home* she thought and so she asked her "excuse me I'm lost can you help me go back home?" The mysterious woman did not speak she simply held her hand the girl was not afraid for some reason she trusted that woman and so they made their way back to her home and then the woman stopped she kneeled to the girl "before we go any further I want you to know you won't like what you see if we continue walking but I want you to trust me" the girl nodded and they continued walking but then she saw her parents she was so excited to be back home back to her parents she would never never leave the house again she ran up to them ready to tell them about her adventure how she got lost and a mysterious woman helped her go back home how happy she was to come back home and so she ran to them getting closer and closer but when she tried to talk to them they...ignored her she tried to get their attention but nothing happened and they were crying? Why? She was right there they should be happy shouldn't they? Then she saw a car it was right on the tree a horrific realization crossed her mind that car was the car that almost hit her...but if the car crashed on the tree that would mean...she turned back but the woman blocked her from seeing what happened and then the woman spoke "are you ready to go? If you need more time I-" the girl ran away before the woman could finish her sentence she didn't want to die she wanted to go home she ran and ran the world around her began to fade away and then she stopped and sat on a bench the mysterious woman sat besides her the girl asked "who are you?" The woman answered "I go by many names some people call me death some the grim reaper" "so you're death?" "Some people believe that" answered the woman "why do you kill people?" Asked the girl the woman once again answered "if a human were to live forever their flesh would rot away leaving only pain and agony" the girl asked "but why do I have to die? Can't I go back? I just wanna go home" "I'm afraid you cannot-" said the woman but the girl interrupted "you're evil!" The girl started running again and she ran and ran and ran and she refused to leave behind her home for days then days turned into weeks until finally she decided to listen to the woman and stepped into the light with her.
