“Hello,”  I greeted him as the hooded figure approached me.

“I’m not here for you.”  A simple but shattering statement.

“But I came to you!”  I pleaded, “I made your job easier!”

“Precisely the problem, go back, kid.”  He gestured toward my body with his scythe.  But as I looked back I only got angry.

“Take me with you!”  I begged, falling to my knees and reaching for his cloak.

“No.  It’s not your time,\"  He stepped back and turned away from me.

“But I want it to be my time.” I muttered and chased after him.  As I ran, my soul seemed to slip through the floor as quicksand.  \"H-hey!  Help me!\"  I cried but the grim reaper walked onward.  \"I know you hear me!\"  In a flash he turned around.

\"So you do want help then?  You don\'t want to be drowning?  If you wanted to be dead you wouldn\'t care.\"

\"I don\'t care, I d-d...don\'t...\"  And he left me there, falling through the ground, through the air.  Falling, falling.  Forever falling.  Into my body which I tried so desperately to leave.
