Jade; I like it. The song fits the mood.

Thank you for setting your eye's on this. It is strange to say, but it must be said. From only that, I can feel your heart beating. I like that. It's a nice change of pace. I can hear your finger using a mouse or button to move along this tale, black irises flicking back and forth to swallow each word like it's you last. Not that you'd know if it was. But I am simply delaying what I want to say.
Just so you know, as you read this, your time is slowly slipping away. Every word is a half a second of your precious life, whether it be eighty years or eight minutes. But one day, you will die. Those silly tales of immortality and fountains of youth are only a waste of time. Made from someone who is afraid of Death. Afraid of me. Which, you shouldn't be. I am nothing, if not fair.
I do not take someone's light before their time. Though most people believe I do, I don't, really. Everyone has a set date, time, place. This does not mean this doesn't change, even though it is very rare either way. Like that little girl killed in a shooting in Arizona. She was only nine. Bright future too, she was set to be the first female vice president and have two kids. It was one of the few times I felt guilty when the light in her eye's died. But there was the time a nineteen year old was set to die in a severe car crash, but I was unable to take him. His time was pushed seventy years in just a few moments.
And despite your thoughts, I do not like this job, but I also don't hate it. Most people hate me, consider me public enemy number one even. But I am only doing my job. Besides, there is good in it. The world would become overpopulated in a few years if I weren't around. Those in pain would never be released. I don't only take people you love either, I take many others.
Despite your beliefs, I am not the Grim Reaper. He is only to scare rowdy children into somber. No, I am far from that. I do not carry a scythe nor am I made of bones. And I am also not God, though many think so. All those religions, all spawn from something reckless I did. Silly little mistakes that have taken over some people's way of life, and I apologize. But it is not my fault for your way of thinking. And don't even think about it, I am not sent from the devil to brainwash you, so don't dwell on it!
As mentioned before, there are miracles thatsave someone from me, lengthen their time as living souls. I know many tales like that, soldiers who narrowly miss a bullet, a famine land suddenly receiving rain, a starving orphan being adopted. It is unusual, but it happens. It is not my fault. I don't know why it happens it just does.
I would like to tell you such a story, one you might like. It is not a long story, but not the most believable.
It is the story of a child who carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. And has cheated me three times in five short years. And because of this, she has become something rare, something more valuable to me then any diamond. She is a red winged child.
(I'm not finishing this. I just needed to brush up on first-person.)
Nooo! Why you no finish it? D= Think about your fans!
