EXCERPT
Siren's blared, cutting through the
quiet night. I watched from the shadows as the man who'd just been hit by a
taxi lay bleeding on the frigid, grime covered ground. People gathered and were
staring at the gruesome scene, while the driver of the taxi sat on the curb,
crying into his hands.
I scanned the crowd, picking out
who'd seen death before and who hadn't.
I could always tell.
As he took his last breath, my
attention snapped back to the dying man. Images began to take shape in his
mind; images that due to my job, I,
too, could see.
Snapshots of him riding a
motorcycle for the first time, of him falling in love, of his big successful
promotion at work...all images of him. It was the usual replay of one's life
flashing before their eyes as they die. When the replay stopped, it was time
for me to go to work.
I stepped out of the shadows and
took two steps in his direction. To the people watching, his wide eyes marked
his final passing, but to me they continued to grow as he took in my features:
my dark hair blowing in the wind, my curvaceous body wrapped in tight black
leather, my large wings the color of the night sky. No one could see me but
him, for he now resided in the netherworld...in my world. I extended my hand and
offered my usual greeting. "My name is Raven and I'm here to help
you."
He reached for my hand then looked
back to take a final look at his body, as most of them do. "Am I really
dead?"
"Yes."
"And you're the..."
"Grim Reaper."
This was the exact conversation I'd
had with thousands of souls, which was why I knew that now would be the best time to comfort him, before he got scared to
death––no pun intended––and tried to flee from me.
I extended my wings and let my
divine light radiate from within. "Please don't fear. I'm only here to
help you find peace."
This usually worked since I looked
more like an angel with wings than the old man with a scythe that most people
envisioned. Maybe that's why I'd been chosen to become the first female Reaper
in history. I think the boys had been losing too many souls.
REVIEW - 4 STARS
Raven's Breath is an upbeat, action packed, fast paced, quick, suspenseful read with a new take on the age old tale of Death/Grim Reaper.
MINI EXCERPTS
"The fissure his
words caused within me elicited a strange dueling reaction. My first thought
was to rip him limb from limb, but at the same time, I wanted to spread my
wings, burst free of this place, fly home, and cry my eyes out. ~ Raven"
"Garrett may be a pencil pusher for all intents and purposes, but he was one of those hot geeky types that when you looked closely enough, you could see he had a real Clark Kent/Superman vibe going on. He was tall and built with dark hair and beautiful blue eyes. We'd never dated and never would, but as I stared at the perfect man asleep on my couch, I knew if we had...I would've been the lucky one. ~ Raven"
"I stared, taking
in her porcelain skin, dark gothic makeup, and long platinum hair. I wanted to
rant and rave, to verbalize all the venomous thoughts pooling on my tongue, but
as Death's icy stare bored into me, I quickly gained control of my emotions and
introduced myself instead. ~ Raven"
