" This morning, by the south side waffles street, a woman in her mid -forties was killed. " The broadcaster on the TV reported " The woman identified as Layla Paulo was on her way home after a night shift when she was attacked and killed. Her face was scratched and her internal organs severely damaged, the police have identified this as a special murder case and further autopsies are being run to find out if they were any other complications. The police have also......" He switched the TV and stared at the woman in front of him, it was Layla Paulo.
"Do you know who your killer is?? Did you happen to see his face??" He asked staring at Layla but her hands were shaking, she body trembling. Ever so slowly, tears rolled down her cheeks
" I didn't see his face, he attacked me from behind"
" Did you notice anything when he held you??
" No" suddenly her eyes turned bloodshot " Help me mister, I want to live, I want to live, I have so many things left unaccomplished . Help me. I wasn't supposed to die, I was murdered"
" Everything happens for a reason . I don't bring people back to life . I just accompany dead souls to their final destinations. But your killer, will be identified"
Layla's sobs became louder, she was broken, weakened and angry. Some stranger took her life , some i***t caused her her grief
" Are you the Grim Reaper??" She asked
" Yes"
" Then promise me this, promise to walk the pains of humans, promise to find that killer, promise to emphatize with humans, to have humanly attributes until all killers are gone" she asked so determined. The tables began to shake, the teacups shaking and unknowingly , the tea of oblivion placed before the woman changed colour for a split second
" Grim Reapers don't make such promises"
" It's my last promise before forgetting my memories of this life, do you want me to leave broken??, Even your boss would not have wanted this" the last sheered
At the mention of the word "boss" the Grim Reaper lifter his head up " Alright, it shouldn't be so deep, it's just a baseless promise. I promise" he told the woman. Layla refused to believe until he stamped his finger with hers then the repeated the words again " I promise" at that moment thunder struck.
At the moment of desperation and last breath, a humans last wish it hope becomes their weapons. A thing even the Grim reapers and other supernatural creatures were not aware of.
