**At the beginning: The Grim Reaper has been reaped! The great final leveling has suffered a blow of cosmic irony by stumbling over its own scythe.**
The funeral world is in mourning, as Death itself, the metaphysical entity responsible for the inevitable end of all lives, has ironically extinguished after a tragic scythe accident. In a paradoxical turn of events that has shaken the foundations of life and death, Death is, in turn, dead.
Death, as we know it, was found lying next to its iconic scythe, a poetic and grotesque image at once. “It’s an absolute shock,” said Mr. Macabre, a talking raven who is the unofficial spokesperson of the supernatural world. “Death was the pillar of our community, and to see it reaped by its own instrument… well, it’s morbidly comedic and absolutely tragic.”
The consequences of this episode are undetermined. The most skeptical doubt the veracity of the news, citing the immortal and timeless nature of Death, while raising questions about the continuity of the cycle of life and death. “If Death is dead, who will take us away now?” rhetorically asked Mrs. Skeptica, a famous influencer blogger in the world of the occult. “Does this mean we are all immortal now? And if so, how long before we all grow tired of immortality?”
Death leaves behind several billion collected lives, a now-orphaned scythe, and a myriad of questions. “I suppose even Death is not immune to death,” said Dr. Ironia, a psychotherapist specializing in existential crises. “It’s both a liberating and terrifying realization. But I’m sure we will all laugh about this in a few millennia.”
