My body doesn't feel temperature...
...so why does every night seem colder and colder?
I layed on a different rooftop that evening, looking at the higher buildings that were blocking most of the sunset. I could still make out a few colors, such as red and purple... The sun was already so low, that after a few minutes it will be dark completely and the evening will turn to night.
My list had no entries of any deaths today. I smiled to myself, thinking it was like a day off from work.
Life is unpredictable...
Fighuring I should do something with the time I had, I checked in to what kind of building I was laying on. It was a bar.
Walking around I saw three drunks, one drunker than the other, waving car keys and arguing about who's driving tonight. I winced at the memories of the boy and walked up closer to them. With a flick of my finger, the keys dropped down on the ground. I was faster than the dunken men eyes, so I quickly snached the keys before they even noticed they fell down.
The man that was holding the keys looked around confused. He stood up, wobbling and started searching for them, fighuring they must've fallen down. I smiled again, thinking it was a good lesson for them, and unnoticably I stucked the keys in one of the mans inner pockets. I fighured they're too drunk to even concider of looking in there, and by the time they'll notice the keys, they'll be sober enough to drive.
Deciding I fooled around enough, I took my leave. The few minutes had passed and the sky was already dark. The street lamps prevented the roads from being as dark as the sky though. I walked silently, breathing in the nights air. It's wasn't as fresh as the air in the woods, but was fresher than during the day, when the streets were jammed with air poluting cars.
I heard a scream
My legs instantly started to move to that direction, curiosity not letting me stop. The scream came from a little girl. An older man was tuging her in to the car forcefully. I knew I'm not one to decide what's good and what's bad, but my human emotions that never layed low told me to help. I walked up to the two and slammed my staff at the others hand. The guy yelled loudly, screaming hs hand was burning. I took that moment to grab the girl. I knew she could see me, she could feel and hear me too. "where do you live? where are your parents?" I asked, running away from the panicing person. "just around the corner, my mommy's sleeping..." she pointed to a house and I went in.
I thought it's careless to let your child roam the streets when you yourself are asleep.
I took back my thoughts when I saw the woman.
She wasn't asleep, she was dead. Then I looked at the girl, who was smiling as sweet as she could. "My mommy wanted to sleep, so she took lots of sleeping pills. They didn't work, so a strange man came and gave her a good night kissy. She's been sleeping ever since."
I felt pity on the poor girl. She had no idea what happened. The other man she was talking about... was probably a nother death god.
I looked back at the girl, but she wasn't there, she crawled on to the bed where her mom layed "I want to sleep too... I didn't sleep for a few days... I'm really tired..." she yawned.
Only then did I notice... The girl was ill. Very ill... she wasn't on my list yet, for she still had a year to live at most...
"Lady, can you kiss me good night? Mabe I'll fall asleep too..."
I smiled softly at the girl. I saw how'd she die... In so much suffering an torture...
Was it right to end her life before her time?...
I came up to her and layed her down. "Good night princess, have a great rest." I smiled, seeing the girl hapilly close her eyes. I kissed her cheek and only a moment after, I felt the life fading away from her young body.
I figured if she must die, let her die in peace and with a smile, than in torture and tears. I lifted my staff that glowed and guided the young spirit upwards, where she could rest. "sleep well..." I whispered.
I suspected that no one else was living here. The body of the woman was already giving out a foul oder, showing she's been lying there for more than a day. No one cared?
Deciding it was the most decent thing to do, I burried the both bodies in the cemetary. I won't go in to details how I got the toombstones and all, but lets just say that it sometimes pays off to be a death god.
I looked up at the nights sky and sighed deeply....
With every passing day, I doubt more and more that the feelings of a human will ever leave me...
