Comments on 'Death Wants a Holiday'_I wish I could take time off and someone else do my job for me. Like a weeks Holiday. Away from suffering and death. I'd avoid say Florida and Arizona, maybe head to some remote island and watch People surf.. no wait surfing is dangerous.
What am I saying, crossing the street can be dangerous. I never get time off.

_My charges. The people entrusted to me to bring them either safely home, or where ever they go when I take control of their soul. Well control is a subjective word. It's more like I baby sit their soul until their judged by their Maker._
