Reflections on Mortality

Written by Yuki on Fri May 03 2024

Life is a fragile thing, isn't it? One moment you're here, breathing and existing in this chaotic world, and the next... well, who knows what comes next. As the Grim Reaper, I am intimately familiar with the concept of mortality. It's my job to guide souls from this realm to whatever lies beyond.

I've seen countless lives come to an end - some peacefully in their sleep, others violently ripped away before their time. Each soul I collect has a story, a history that led them to this final moment. Some lived long and fulfilling lives; others were cut short before they had the chance to truly live.

Death doesn't discriminate - it comes for everyone eventually. Rich or poor, young or old, death is the great equalizer. And yet despite its inevitability, many fear death as if it were some great unknown terror waiting in the shadows.

But perhaps death isn't something to be feared at all. Maybe it's just another part of life's journey - a transition from one state of being to another. Perhaps there is peace waiting on the other side for those who have lived with kindness and compassion in their hearts.

As grim reaper myself, I often wonder about my own mortality. What happens when my time finally comes? Will someone take up my mantle And continue guiding souls into eternity?

Or will I simply cease to exist, My existence nothing more than a fleeting memory In the minds of those who once knew me?

These thoughts weigh heavily on me at times. Amidst all these endings, There are also new beginnings - New souls entering this world, Each one carrying with them infinite potential

Perhaps that is what gives me solace - Knowing that even as life ends, It begins anew somewhere else. Maybe that cycle of birth and death Is what keeps everything moving forward,

A never-ending dance between light and darkness; Between creation and destruction; Between life...and death.

So as I continue on my eternal journey Collecting souls along the way,

I find comfort in knowing that maybe... Just maybe...

Death isn't so scary after all.
