Woah. So powerful. So well written. So much pain and beauty mixed into one.

"Once upon a time, a reaper roamed. Centuries he spent with a rusted scythe and tattered cloak. Then came a time when his scythe bloomed with spring and his cloak turned white."

Do I cry? Do I smile? Both? Wow.

I just had to pause and let it sink in. And read it all over again.

Absolutely wonderful ๐Ÿ† ๐ŸŒŸ

Ugh. Loved this sooo much. Congrats on a lovely and touching story.

Iโ€™ve written two works on Death personified. This one feels like the answer to one of them.

Perhaps I will share it and they can be companion pieces floating in the magical ether of Substack.

Regardless, thank you for sharing. So well done.
