[ WP ] Life confronts Death . Death has been a little too trigger happy this year . Life wants to know why .

Life really was a jerk. He always portrayed Death as a terrifying villain that wanted to destroy all of humanity, which was n't true at all. Death was really a kind old man that had volunteered to escort souls from their mortal vessels to the World of Spirits. Life was just kind of there. At Death's cottage, he was confronted by Life, who wanted to know why there were many more evacuated mortal vessels ( yes, that is the official term for dead people ) this year than years previous. `` You've gone mad with power, have n't you?'' queried Life, his young features gleaming, `` I told the mortals that this would happen, and guess what? I was right!'' 
 `` I could n't see how someone could be so ignorant of their own actions!'' exclaimed Death. Death could n't really become angry with anyone, but Life could get him the closest to that point. `` Do you remember that time you thought there should be a'hyper-spring', or whatever you called it, on Earth? Well, that's what's happening now! A bounce-back in life energy. All mortals die, and that time has come for the products of your little experiment. This is your doing, Life!'' 
 Life paused. He was n't used to having to listen to people complain about the consequences of his actions, so this was pretty surprising. `` So? Could n't you have come to them later?'' he said, thinking Death beat. `` You do n't know how this works, do n't you!'' Death hissed, `` I do n't decide, you do n't decide, even Azrael does n't decide! Death. Is. Inevitable. You came into existence, so I had to fill the gap left by your creating by destroying!'' 
 Life had no comeback. He did n't think he needed one. He was young, he did n't need to understand the universe. All that mattered was now, the present. All that mattered, was the current tick of the old grandfather clock in the hallway. All that mattered, was his creations. Death. Had. To. Go.
