Sunlight sparkled on the turquoise sea as waves rolled in a hypnotic rhythm against the shore. In the midst of this postcard-perfect scene, a single note of dissonance rested on a floral beach chair: the Grim Reaper. Swathed in his signature black robes, yet oddly paired with sandals and dark sunglasses, he reclined with a posture of profound exhaustion. The immortal entity released a sigh that carried the weight of ages. ‘At last… six hundred years… and I can rest.’ He murmured the next words with a hint of dry annoyance, ‘For a day, at least.’ Masking the flicker of frustration with a slight shrug, he raised a martini glass to his lips, took a measured sip, and set it down on the small table beside him.
