The Apocalypse is Delayed, Death is Off for a Fitness Retreat!

At the beginning: The Grim Reaper, known for her unwavering dedication, surprised the world by announcing a well-deserved break. The Apocalypse is thus delayed, for better or for worse.

Death, dressed all in black, expressed her growing need for a pause, given the relentless pace she has had to maintain in recent years. “I can’t take it anymore seeing everyone in black and white. I want colors, energy… I’m off to a Health Resort for a detox. Maybe try yoga? I hear it’s all the rage,” she stated at a clandestine press conference held in a local cemetery.

This unprecedented event raises a multitude of questions among the population. “Does this mean no one will die during her absence?” asked Béatrice, 92, who had planned to say her goodbyes this weekend. Others rejoice at this news, like Harold, 43, who has decided to postpone his salt-free diet and gym subscription.

“I can’t believe I’m finally going to be able to ease up a bit. I can finally eat a pizza without feeling guilty,” Harold declared, a tear of gratitude rolling down his chubby cheek.

Death, however, reassured everyone by specifying that she has left detailed instructions for her temporary replacements. “My harvesters are absolutely competent and they have a precise list of souls to reap. I also left notes regarding a few people who are about to eat their last pizza,” Death said, an elusive smile on her fleshless lips.

The world, caught between relief and apprehension, is preparing to experience an uncertain period. But one thing is for sure: Death, like everyone else, sometimes needs a little break.
