This one was suggested by ipuertoricanpony
His original one is at the bottom. My rewritten one is at the top.
Death is a poweful condition and an inevitable part of the human experience.
As a literary character, he has been personified in a number of ways. In the tales of Ancient Greece, he was the taciturn lord of the underworld in Greek mythology, in Ancient Egypt, he was the person who judged what a person did in their life, during the Middle Ages, there was the Grim Reaper and the Black Death. More recently, there was a bubblier death of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the curmudgeonly Grim Reaper of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, to Dead Like Me, a show about a group of Grim Reapers who escort the dead to the afterlife.
In this prompt, you are to create a story around a personification of Death. But your version of death can not have a scythe or be a skeleton or, resemble, the familiar version of the Grim Reaper.
The original one:
"Give me your interpretation of death. this is more of a character study, therefore your interpretation can be presented either in a scene, a short character bio, a short narrative, comic book...heck, don't want to use dialogue, go ahead. whatever you come up with. the only condition: no scythe and skull cliche."
