When death took a break

Have you ever imagine what it will be like to live forever, never to die, and to reach immortality? Have you ever wandered if that will make the world a better place or a living hell? What will happen if the circle of life is broken, and all order in the world is vanished? Well that is what happen here and let me tell you it is not pretty at all, well in fact it is literary a living hell. Well let e tell you how all this happen. At the beginning of times God make a deal with Death and that was give it immortality if he agree to take all the life that can not continued in the world we know, and every 2000 years there has to be a new Death and the one that was solemn to is promised should rest and have the best after life. Every two thousand years god found a miserable man in earth that was perfect for the job, most of all a miserable guy who hate life, well and that had work for thousands and thousands of years, until God founded James Ford.

James Ford was a sad sad man that considered his life miserable. He had black hair; he was small, weakly and really really pallid, carrying always sadness and deception in his shoulders. He had a crappy job which was being a partial teacher at prison; imagine waking up everyday to stand up in front of a crowd who does not respect you and attacked you in every chance they got? Well that job was really stressful and they paid really little money so he lived in a crappy apartment of only one room: and if that was not enough, he got no friends, no family no love, no life. He had a heart as empty as his wallet and he could not stand his life anymore. He was the perfect candidate for the job. Well having such a crappy he decided to end it and he went to the last floor of hid building and jump without thinking it twice. Right before he crashed God intervene and talked to him. He did not believe I got till that moment and he was in shock. God offered him the “job” of being Death and he immediately denied it but then God told him if he decided not to he will go to hell for killing I self and he will had a worst after life tan the one he had in earth. Then God explain him if he cooperates he gets an incredible after life. James felt like he had no choice and accept. God explain him that he had the greatest responsibility of all and that he could not disobeyed it. James did not put him a lot of attention but still he understood the next day he started his first day of duty. It was really essay he almost did not do anything, he just had to let pass all the deceased to the after life. Well he was really lacy and he found that really boring. Well one of the worst parts of his job was that he sometimes heard people insulting Death and at first he did not care in fact he was happy he made other peoples life miserable like people use to make his life miserable before. Well after 5 years he was sick of all those complains and a year after he was sick of it he started to fill guilty about what he did to people and he did not know what to do and he ask God. God told him to keep doing his job holding the circle of life. Well it was the year 2025 when James realized he could not do this anymore and he just give up. Immediately there were no more deaths. All the people that were suffering could not die even do they jump from a building of 30 floors they will just fill the pain but they never, never die. Even if they had more than a 100 bullets in their body nobody could die just be miserable. Now it is the year 2085 all the resources are vanishing because of all the over population. There is almost not food and know there are not jobs now all people have became savages and it is just the strongest who live good because people never die even do their head had split from their body. People that can not move nor eat are still alive with more than a hundred years old and they are in great pain. It broke my heart walking down the streets and watching all the people that are laying down suffering, with all types of wounds in their bodies.. Well there were not more hospitals because it has no point now. I am officially today 45 years old and I am healthy just because I had harmed a lot of people in the way. This days I feel really bad that there is not death and I can not stop reminding the last words my grandpa pronounce before he could not move and that was “I can not stop the Idea of how no one liked to go to a funeral before and now I will love to go to one, to see my love ones passed away to a better life not to stay here and suffered”. Well I have never gone to a funeral before and I really will want to. I did not go to a school because of all dangers hat were outside considering that there was no death people were not afraid of anything like stilling and hearting people. All things I know were the Stories and lessons my Grandparent told me. And now I am looking and looking for a solution but I do not know when I will find it. And then I thought maybe in the Bible because I have never read the bible before or in another holly book. Well I run to the closed library that is near my house and grabbed all the books I found about god and death. In my way out I saw all those people suffering that looked like zombies, and I told to myself I won’t rest until I found the solution. After ours of looking and looking for an answer I found a passage of one of those holly books tat had a parable that told the story of God and Death that you already know about and that the only flaw that the deal had was that if Dead broke the deal he will be mortal again and the one who kill him will be the knew Death. There was the answer in front of me I was looking at it but I did not believe it and they I start to wander- how can someone kill death?-. Well I hoped to found the answer in this book but it was not. I research and research and I did not found the answer anywhere. I was desperate so I decided that I will have to go find Death, and figure out their how to kill him. The only problem was that I did no have a clue about where Death was. How do you found Death? Well I remember from the story that my Grandpa told me that the man who became Death was James Ford. So there was my only lead to find Death that name James Ford. But I did not have a clue about him and I went t o closed federal office which had a computer that nearly worked and I research that name and was surprising to find that James Ford had criminal records for stilling cars. I was lucky that I found the address but it was really expensive it was an hour trip in car and that was a lot because there was so little gasoline at that time. Well they were a lot of chances that he was not there but I figure out that it was the only place he got. When that arrived in that horrible neighbourhood, I enter that deserted apartment building where just one light was on. Well I suddenly step off the car and took a huge gun from my car, which belong to my grandfather. I was heading to the apartment without knowing how I will kill him. When I got there he was crying with his eyes closed and when he opened it he immediately looked at me and told me with such a short voice – kill me -. I was really confused and my only reaction was asking him – why? –. He answers – because I know the chaos I have caused and I can not stand it anymore but I can not go back to being who I was-. I immediately ask him pretending to do not know, – why, who are you -. –I am the reason why all this have happened because I disobeyed my reasonability…. You want to know ho I was? I was Death but not anymore – he said. – I know that is why I am here – I respond. He only response to that was – I see so kill me please but before you do it take in count the responsibility that you will have and that you can not abandon it – . – I am not like you – I respond. – I hope- he said –the only way to kill me is by stabbing me with my knife in my chest, here take it, so kill me already to face my cruel after life to face my destiny I think that I never deserved better-.While I grabbed that enormous knife I said to him – Maybe you deserved something better but now you never know, maybe it was not your destiny to have a crappy after life but you created it and now because of that you are ruined – those were the last words I said to him before I gave him 11 stabs in his chest. Suddenly before that I assed out on the apartment floor and I spoke to God. He told me that he hopes I understand the great responsibility that I have now and if I respect it I will be rewarded but he also say if not there well be always someone to take you down. Immediately after that I waked u feeling strange but better and in that second more than the 45 percent of the population of the world passed to a better life. And order in the world is now restored, once again the circle of life is the rule that everyone follow. Well and I tell to my self I will respect this responsibility and honored it for the next 2000 years. Well I have not tell you who I am previously I has been known as Joan Doe but not anymore now everyone call me DEATH.
