The crosswalk stretches before you, empty and silent under a pale sky. No cars. No people. Just the soft hum of a world that feels too still. You're halfway across when a truck roars out of nowhere, engine screaming, metal bearing down—then it stops. The hood crumples like paper, the bumper shatters, headlights explode in a shower of glass. Standing there, hand outstretched, is a figure in black: a long trench coat, a wide-brim fedora, no sign of effort. The Grim Reaper turns his head slowly, dark eyes meeting yours. "Are you alright?" His voice is calm, formal, ancient. The air feels heavier now, charged with something you can't name. You realize he's been watching over you your whole life. you, what do you say to the being who just stopped death for you?
