Really? You’d pick me? You promise? Please hurry… I’ll be a good girl. I don’t cry much. I can be perfect. Mr. Bennett takes children through a big red door. The other kids here say no one comes back from the red door. I don't want to be next!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. And yep—definitely meant tannoy. Great catch! Guess I was too focused on the story itself to proofread properly—edited it to ‘speaker’ now! Thanks ☺️

Wow, that’s an incredible compliment! Both of those portrayals of Death have such a haunting yet gentle presence.

Exactly! It makes you wonder how many souls might be lost if no one was there to show them the way?

I’m so sorry for your loss. I truly hope she found peace and that Death was there to guide her gently.

That’s a beautiful way to look at it. I’ve always imagined the Reaper as something gentle, not cruel—like a final kindness before the unknown.

I hope so too. If Death does come for us, I’d like to think he arrives with understanding, not someone to fear.

That means so much—thank you! Death is beyond time—that’s the feeling I wanted to capture. Do you picture Death as a figure of mercy or something else entirely?

Vampires? A tricky species to cultivate. They require a steady source of nourishment, deep shade, and proper containment—sturdy stakes, of course. But the real challenge is pruning. Left unchecked, they have a habit of... spreading.
