a quick death Excerpt
DEATH DIDN’T COME TODAY. Night had fallen, and the lure of sleep tugged on me. I dragged myself to my feet and dumped the now cold tea.
Maybe tomorrow, I told myself as I brushed my teeth.
I ignored the little voice that whispered it wasn’t normal to wish for Death. I understood that, but normal was boring. Normal didn’t take you on adventures around the world.
Normal didn’t introduce you to Death.
I remembered the first time we met. It had been an autumn day in New Zealand. I was waiting for the tour to start. I was finally seeing where The Hobbit had been filmed. My excitement was palatable. An older man collapsed and the medics were called. Their attempts to revive him were fruitless. That was when I saw Death.
No one else seemed aware of him. I watched him weave through the crowd. He was reaching for the body when our eyes met. Confusion flitted across his pale face. Later that night, I saw him again. He didn’t understand why I saw him. It wasn’t my time.
When, I asked.
He shrugged. One day. Then he was gone. I have been waiting for him ever since.

Thanks for sharing my book and helping me spread the word. =)
Glad to. 🙂
Great excerpt and fascinating premise! For a moment, though, I thought you wrote this book, Anna, as I didn’t see the author’s name until the end of the post.
Oops, sorry about that. hehehe
Sounds intriguing and interesting take on death.
LOL that there may be a triangle in there. Creating is such an interesting process, right?
All too true. hehehe
