[ WP ] Age , injury , and disease do n't kill people , that just the only time Death and his crew can convince people to leave their bodies .

Deaths hand was quick to press snooze yet again. Hundreds of years ago he would have gone for a morning jog, he failed to see the point. These days he was to hungover in the mornings, and even if he was n't, Death did n't care. 
 
 At one time Death was the star of the underworld, bringing in classics like Elvis, Da Vinci, he even got Robin Williams to show up. People just were n't dyeing like they used to. 
 
 Death bothered to listen to his answering machine, his old roommate Cupid had left him a Voice mail. 
 `` Hey, hey, Death dude, you got ta get over here. The tooth fairy is wrecked, she's total...''. Death really did n't want to hear the rest. In the old days he would have loved to go out with Toothie and Cups. Death just did n't care for parties anymore, Death did n't really care about anything. 
 
 Death still had his position as Head of Life Ending, these days it was honorary more than anything. No one wanted that dead end job. He did n't even bother wearing a tie anymore.

 `` Well we still have mental disease right?'' Said Algathor the five headed bull. `` I mean there's no way everyone's right in the head down there.'' 
 
 Octavious the Spider demon chimed into say, `` No it's a Utopia, like, a legitimate Utopia. No `` Brave New World'' bullshit. They're all just happy.'' 
 
 And Jes the intern tried to give some input, but nobody cared what Jes had to say. The only reason he got this internship was because of his Dad. 
 
 `` Well we could, make like an awesome Dance club, with drugs in stuff, and people will want to come.'' And Jes the intern tried to give some input, but nobody cared what Jes had to say. The only reason he got this internship was because of his Dad. 
 
 Death just stared, nodding, even at Jes's stupid ideas. 
 
 `` Thanks Jes, but we've tried that one. They have better drugs down there.'' Monotonously replied Death. 
 Another hour later the meeting had ended and everyone went back to their busy work. Jes tried figuring out the photocopier, Algathor designed some birthrate pie charts, and Octavius went back to drafting up welcome party programs. 
 
 Death took another drink of his coffee and whiskey, and stared down at the conference room table. He looked up for a second to see a frowning Cthulu, Lord of Darkness looking at him. 
 
 `` Death, man. Look I do n't mean to dig into your personal life, but look at you. Where's the death that cared. You used to be everywhere, everyone used to know you. Now it's all `` Who's Death?'''' 
 Cthulu really cared, Death could see that. The fact was Death could n't care, all his love and passion was gone. 
 
 `` I'm just tired.'' Death said, looking at his room tempature Irish coffee. 
 
 `` Dude, here take this.'' Cthulhu said giving him a card that read Dr. JJ Eisenbush professional Counselor. `` I know what it's like Death, I have n't been summoned in years. 
 
 After Cthulhu walked out Death mulled over the card for a while. He did n't have any other plans besides Whiskey and Netflix, so he set up an appointment

 `` Hello, Death, is it?'' Said Dr. JJ. 
 
 `` Yeah, Death.'' Replied Death 
 
 `` Well I was n't sure I was talking to the Death, I've actually studied up on your work. You've done some remarkable things for the afterlife. 
 
 `` Yeah, a long time ago. It was easy back then. When first started the gig out it was almost to easy. People were dying left and right.'' Death said, letting out what seemed like a laugh. 
 
 `` I was seriously trying to get into another field because it was just to simple. I waited, and I almost had this sweet gig with Father Time. I went in for my last day at the Life Ending company and the phones were ringing so loud you though the world had gone insane.'' 
 
 `` Those fucking humans figured out Penicillin. After that the job was real, I was on fire.'' He said, his smiling finally wavering away. 
 
 `` Then they figured out a lot more then Penicillin. The job got more challenging, then it just became impossible. Death is obsolete.'' 
 
 `` So what have you been doing sense you have been `` Obsolete?'' asked Dr. JJ 
 
 `` I do n't know anymore, if I had to answer truthfully, it's nothing. I have n't done anything. I get up, I walk to my closet I put on my clothes, eat a bagel, go to work, and do nothing. I eat, I sleep, I drink, and I do nothing. There's a sliver of me that's mad about it, but not enough to make doing something seem worth it. I just do n't care anymore.'' 
 
 Dr. JJ responded as sympathetically as he could. `` You're not the only one Death. I do n't know your personal life to well but rest assured, 
 There are people that love you, that have laughed at your jokes, and cried when you were in danger. There are people who's heart have ached over you, hearts that long to see you again. In some time or another you have made someone's day better. You may feel like you are in a dark place with no one, but you are not alone. Death you are Loved''

 I want to write more about this if anyone is interested. I did n't do much editing, and I feel like there are more places for humor. 
 
 Remember that like Death people care about you. You're okay.
