GRIM REAPER.
Mark~ Diane?
Diane~ Hmm. What’s up Mark?
Mark~ So, tell me about your parents?
Diane~ (coughs) Ohf. Ehr. How ’bout some other time? Yeah.
Mark~ All right. (To himself) Maybe she doesn’t like her parents.
Later in the night, Mark gets ready for bed. He & Diana have been rooming together for a couple months now. He’s thinking of popping the question to Diane. But he wants to know more about her parents first. Well, Mark doesn’t need to worry about that for a little while. He’s certain that he can get to know & love her parents no matter what.
Mark hears a bird caw. He checks the windows, but sees nothing. How peculiar. He calls Diane. She doesn’t hear him. She’s taking a shower. He hears a slight sound of someone cutting something. Mark almost slaps himself. It must all be in his head. He’s had a long day...and his mind was playing tricks on him.
He hears a blade swinging in the air. What in the world? Then he sees two glowing red eyes coming towards him. Mark jumps & screams. This must be how he winds up dead. He quivers and tries to think of the best defense. If this was the Grim Reaper, then Mark was doomed. Nothing could save him now.
Diane comes out of the shower. She quickly changes into her pyjamas. Mark runs and bangs on the door. Diane wonders what’s going on. She opens it and Mark falls to the floor.
Mark~ (panting) Oh, Diane! You won’t believe what I just saw....
At that exact moment, Mr. G.R. is right behind him. Mark shakes, he’s scared to look who’s behind him. Diane smiles. Mark stares at her.
Diane~ Dad? (laughs) What did you do to Mark?
Mr. G.R.~ Diane. My dear, (chuckles) I was only trying to scare him and make him run back to his Mummy. Ah, my plan backfired.
Diane~ Mark. This is my Dad.
Mark couldn’t believe it. Diane’s Dad was- is...the Grim Reaper. No wonder why she was hesitant to talk about her parents. This was a lot for Mark to take in & all past midnight.
