Little Black Will

Who would even leave a dollar for the reaper? Bad PR aside even ferrymen make a better living, a greater insult to grim than the devil’s mounds of fiery gold given freely by Satanic worshippers. If bones required any upkeep then nobody would last long in the job that needed no body. Is the occasional dry clean for the uniform of black robes too much to ask? Something to distract from the monotony of the vocation. Of course people die in interesting ways, but people die in interesting ways all the time. Only a week of finding cadavers with pants around their ankles and belts around their necks, or the geriatric orgies that left behind mounds of feeble hearted bodies, and the comedy of those sights was gone. Black comedy, just the way grim likes it.
