Just after the creation of the universe

Death

I lvoe these new creatures, they arent like most of the others, these walk on two legs and have no fur on their bodies except for on their heads.

If i had to describe them in a word, it would be curious.

They are curious things, from the moment Life made them they began moving around looking at everything trying to learn more.

The ones in front of me didnt live for very long, and of course that made my feel guilty about taking them so soon, but they already have so many stories.

They have even named themselves!

They call themselves Humans

The ones in front of me dont know what i am yet, im scared to tell them, would they run from me? Fear me? Hate me? I dont want that, even if i have to lie to them a little i want to enjoy this for a little while longer.

I hope i can see more of these strange humans.

As one of the humans finish their story they begin to look at me strangly.

"Why dont you tell us a story now?" one of the humans ask, i was a little taken back by it but now i dont know what story to tell them about.

Perhaps i could tell them about her?

"I may have a story for you all"

I dont know how long i sat their telling them all about Life but they seemed to really enjoy it. By the time i finished the story their seemed to be so many more humans, all of them listening to my every word. Some of them even had water coming from their eyes, this confused me quite a bit but it didnt seem to be bothering them to much.

"I think its time for you all to run along now, after all you will finally get to meet Life herself"

Many of the humans looked excited at the idea while some of them were scared. Most of the humans began to dissipate from their bluish ethereal form as they floated away on a non existent breeze.

But some of them stayed behind, i could see the fear in their faces, they didnt know what to expect, they were afraid of the unknown.

"Come here" I say to the scared humans. Once they were close enough i take them into a hug, i had seen the humans do this to eachother a few times and they seemed to enjoy it.

"You are going to be just fine, It wont even hurt, and before long you will be with Life again. Oh and when you see her, please tell her im happy i could meet her lovely children" This seemed to give the humans the courage they needed as one by one they lose their human form and change into the wisp of a soul they they all came from.

As i watch the last of them leave my realm and return to the stream i get a strange feeling that i am being watched, i look around me and not to far away i see another human.

If this is my purpose for the rest of eternity, its not so bad.

I collect my thoughts as i approach the human to begin listening to their stories.

Life

I feel my heart twisting and turning, but it is also aflutter. Seeing the care and love he has given my creations, no the humans, has truly moved my heart.

I really wish i could be there as well.

I also wished i could hear what they were saying, they all seemed to be really cought up in Deaths words, some of them even began crying. What could he have said to make them cry those kinds of tears, they werent tears of pain or sadness, but somthing else.

At least it doesnt seem like he minds me sending all of these souls to him.

It was then that i decided to try and send him another message. If only i could figure out what to say.

Sending a message with a soul was very difficult, it was also limited to only a few words so they had to count.

Perhaps i shouldnt.

What would i say?

Will he even reply?

Doubt and fear filled my mind, worry about whether i should send a message or not fighting a war through my thoughts.

I'm going to do it!
