[ WP ] You tell Death that you will never tire of living no matter how long you live . It makes you a bet that you will and thus grants you true immortality . You 've just lived through the second death of the universe and show no sign of stopping . Death is baffled .

If Death had a face I think it would be unnerved. I ca n't really remember how old I am. In fact the day I first met him is a blur. He cradled me like a long lost son. It was comforting in all the best ways. It was n't cold. It was the warmest I've ever felt. I should have had it all in that moment. But something inside me felt a stirring restlessness. It was n't mine time. 
 
 This was n't the first time someone rejected Death. It was almost expected for him. Still, most people plead for a longer life. A few asked for immortality too. But I was the only one who explained I'd never tire of living. In a curious state of mind, Death granted my request. I would live as long as I remained content with living. 
 
 After the end of the second death of the Universe and the explosion into the third Death approached me again. Faceless as always, he moved with an odd sort of clairvoyance. He was near omnipotent, and yet I was here. A riddle that utterly perplexed him. He did n't need a face to show is bafflement. 
 
 `` Indulge me,'' he said. Once his voice was cold and calm. Now I noticed it's hidden warmth. Death was very busy after all. I enjoyed our chats whenever they could be had. I nodded as he approached with a glistening smile. `` You are still here. How?'' I played furrowed my brow confused. A grin crept for the corner of my mouth as I tried to play coy. It's not easy hiding oneself from Death. 
 `` What comes after death?'' I said with my pleasant smile. I sensed impatience within Death. It was n't the first time I asked that question. Nor was it new. Countless souls had asked the same questions. I even got to witness a few trillion. 
 
 Death continued to wait. Unwilling to play my game. `` Still wo n't tell me, huh?'' I said breaking he silence in between us. Out in the vast emptiness signs of cosmic creation bloomed. The first new atoms began forming. In a few billion years there would be stars again. `` That is the answer you know,'' I said turning back to Death, `` I do n't know what comes after I die. You wo n't tell me.'' My smile returned to my face as I saw a spark of light. `` This is all I have for all I know. Sure some of it is the same as before. I may even run out of things to see. But not today.'' Death turned to leave but I raised my hand to stop him. `` You will always be around right? Always were? Always reaping. Seems to me their ought to be balance to all that. I do n't create life, that is beyond my talents but I remember it. I'll hold the memories of all.'' 
 
 Death nodded and disappeared. I was sure I'd see him again. Maybe in a few milennia. Maybe at the next universe. It did n't really matter to me. `` Seeya buddy. Until we meet again.'' I said to myself. Another wave of life was going to start soon. I had my own work to do.
