Tick, tick, tick. The sound infuriated Sally. She wasn’t the most patient person, and that hadn’t changed. She pulled the pocket watch from inside her robes. There were mere minutes left. She resisted the urge to tap the hands and make them move faster.

She shook her head. The first thing they teach you in reaper school is that every moment is precious to humans. Every second is theirs to waste, and most of them do. They spend their precious moments waiting, waiting for buses, waiting for loved ones, waiting for the right time.

After what seemed like an eternity, the watch chimed, the old man keeled over, and Sally swung the scythe collecting his soul. She breathed deeply as she reviewed his life. So many don’t learn, and she had once been one of them.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the stories so far. Inspired by Zane Dickens 💯 Story Challenge. Let’s see how long I last.
