Last Breath
Headlights came out of nowhere. The car flipped once... twice... three times... I lost count. My head hit the window and it all went black. I don't remember much after that except a light. Small at first, but slowly grew until it surrounded me. I was floating on air. I felt safe.
A dark shadow began to form at my side.
"Servitude or Death, little one?" I cocked my head at the funny question posed me. What a funny little inquiry.
"Servitude," I mumbled with a giggle. That last blunt was still swirling in my brain and the alcohol tainting my breath was fresh in my veins. Who would ever choose death?
Fresh metal clamped around my wrist. The inebriating substances in my system lost their effect. I faced death himself. Tall and cloaked in all black, I couldn't see his face. A chill ran down my spine. What did I get myself into?
"I-I changed my mind. I choose death." I stumbled to my feet. The weight in my wrist was heavy. Death bowed its head and let out what could have been a deep chuckle.
"You cannot reverse what has already been done. Your soul belongs to me now. You will collect my souls from hence forth until your servitude is paid," he said slowly.

I was lost for words. This couldn’t be real. This wasn’t happening. This was all a strange dream from the drugs and alcohol, I couldn’t be… dead.
