Hey all. This is Xgirl. Here's the unfinished story I would hope to eventually submit. If worst comes to worst, I'll have no problem scrapping the whole thing.
So, I guess.... enjoy?

Panel 1: Birds' eye view of a city bank.
Caption: Folks call me a grim killer. I suppose that ain't much of a stretch.
Panel 2: View of Grim walking inside the bank. He's about 6'2" with short, dark hair, and a stubble covered chin.
Caption: I've killed just about everything thats walked or crawled for the right price. At times for no price at all, just the sheer enjoyment. You could call me a jack of all trades hit man, thug, drug dealer, pimp...
Panel 3: Grim slides a small piece of paper towards the female bank teller, and takes a gun halfway out of his pocket.
Caption: You name it. In my time I've done it all.
Caption 2: And today...
Panel 4: Shot of Grim holding a gun point black to the bank teller's face. Camera just off the shoulder of the teller.
Caption: My profession of choice...armed robber.

Panel 1: Jagged explosion panel.
Sound effects: BANG! BANG! BANG!
Panel 2: Grim running out of the bank and looking behind him, carrying a sac full of cash.
Caption: Hell I make no apologies, but all I needed was a crummy fix. But as they say every dog has his day.
Panel 3: Worms' eye view of Grim falling into an open manhole. A look of shock on his face.
Caption: And today's not mine.
Panel 4: Shot of Grim cracking his head open on the side of the manhole while falling.
Sound effect: CRACK!
Caption: I could almost taste that fix. But now everythings turning black. Well atleast i won't have to deal with the shakes anymore. Feels like sleep.
Panel 5: Grim falling backwards into the dark. Money sac up in the air with cash flying out of it.
Panel 6: Shot of a dead Grim lying in the sewer.
Caption: S#!t...where am I?
Page 3
Panel 1: View of Grim looking down at his dead body. Bloody crack in his head.
Grim: Crapped out...
Voice from off panel: So, I see you're a fan?
Panel 2: Grim turns to look behind him and sees the Grim Reaper leaning against the sewer wall. Cloak, scythe and all, but you can't see his face.
Grim: What?
Reaper: Your obviously a fan of or else you wouldn't be here so soon.
Panel 3: Medium shot of the Reaper looks at a file.
Reaper: Says here, they call you "Grim" Killer. .... That right?
Panel 4: Shot of Grim and the Reaper standing face to face. Grim looking mildly confused and disturbed.
Reaper: Huh, what an unimpressive life.
Panel 5: Grim shouting angrily at the Reaper and pointing to his dead body.
Grim: What the f&^k are you talking about?! Who are you?

Panel 2: Same view. Reaper pointing the scythe at the body and looking towards Grim.
Reaper: Who do you think I am?
Panel 3: Shot of Grim's face looking taken aback.
Panel 4: Grim begins to sweat and frantically runs his hands through his hair.
Grim: So this is it for me huh ?Then screw it! Ok..Ok I'll bite,Where to now?
Panel 5: Medium shot of the Reaper, arms crossed.
Reaper: Where do you think?
Grim: I never thought it'd go down like this.
Reaper: No one ever does.
Grim: I was just living I mean i am all that dough
Reaper: yes yes And I'm sure you had more people to kill ,places to see and girls to sell... You're pathetic, you know that?
Panel 6: Grim turning away from the Reaper and heading towards the ladder on the manhole. Towards the shaft of light.
Grim: Why should I give a damn about your opinion? I led the life i was dealt!
Reaper: (yelling) You led the life you made!
Page 5
Panel 1: Shot of Grim climbing the ladder with a scowl on his face.
Reaper: Let's see... you've killed 123 people directly through the use of violence, 34 indirectly through drugs...
Panel 2: Grim climbing higher on the ladder, looking ever angrier.
Reaper: and sold 18 young girls into a life of dangerous sex. 6 of which under the age of 16. Now unless you base a success life on how many lives you've destroyed, I wouldn't say are the definition of a complete failure
Panel 3: Grim, at the top of the ladder, reaches his hand out of the manhole.
Grim: Shut up.
Reaper: Oh, I'm sorry... thats my exit. You have to stay down here.
Panel 4: Same shot of Grim, but this time, looking shocked, as everything goes dark and his ladder turns into snakes.
Reaper: It's the badlands for you, my friend.
Panel 5: View of Grim sliding down the snakes and into a firey pit.
Grim: AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Page 6:
Panel 1: Grim slamming into the ground surrounded by flames.
Grim; Ooof!
Panel 2: Grim on his knees, screaming and looking up at the Reaper standing in front of him.
Grim: Wait, don't I get, like, a trial or something?!
Panel 3: Shot of the reaper pointing a skeleton finger at Grim.
Reaper: You've never cared about anyone or anything. Why do you deserve a second chance?
Grim:Because...
Panel 4: Reaper kneeling on one knee with his face right in front of Grim's.
Reaper:(yelling) because what??? You want a second chance? You really want a second chance?
Grim: (whispering) yes
Reaper: I can't hear you!
the flames grow taller and hotter as grim begins to cook, flesh melting off his bones.
Grim: YES!!! God! Please i'll do anything!
Flames shut down and Grim is restored
Reaper: Today you have earned what few have ever been given.I'll give you a second chance. Your dept will be to save twice as many people as you've killed and to help all who are victimized and downtrodden, espicially the surviving loved ones of those you viciously destroyed. And for those poor souls you destroyed who still walk the earth,your mission is to undo your misdeeds and save them. Your only gift a "calling" to warn you of imminent danger and your own devices of cruelty and opression that you used in the past.

Panel 1: Medium shot of Grim's.
Grim: There's no way! I can't do that!
Panel 2: Shot of the Reaper looming over Grim again.
Reaper: Why? Did you think this would be easy? It was so easy for you to take lives. What's so different about saving them?
Panel 3: The Reaper turns around to leave Grim, but Grim reaches out(still on his knees) and grabs at the Reaper's cloak.
Grim: Wait, you bastard!
Panel 4: Shot of the cloak being tugged off the Reaper. Revealing another cloak
Reaper: never do that again!
