An exclusive interview

Ladies and gentlemen, today I am honoured by the presence Death. Yes, it the Grim Reaper himself. In the flesh! Today, he has visited my blog to help clear some misunderstandings and myths we've had. Without further ado, let's put our hands together and give my guest the warmest welcome.
*Imaginary applause and some jeering from the sides*

Me: Hello Death, how are you?

Death: I'm fine, thank you. And oh, call me Grim. No need to be formal.

Me: Alright Grim. So tell us what's your job like?

Grim: Well, there's a misconception I'd like to clear here. See, most people think of me as the one who ends life for all living things. You see, I actually bring an end to other stuffs as well. You know the Berlin Wall? I took it down. Death to West Germany and East Germany. You see what I mean?

Me: So you’re saying that you put an end to everything?

Grim: Yes. Whatever you can think of, life, relationships, situations…. I put an end to it all.

Me: That’s a mighty big job then. So what’s your relationship like with Life?

Grim: Life? She’s a nice girl, very creative I must say. Just a little sloppy though. That’s where I come in. You can say that I’m her housekeeper. Me: I’m sorry but what do you mean? Grim: She creates pretty much every thing you see around you. I decide what to put away. Clear away for space so that she’ll have more room for new creations.

Me: For example?

Grim: Just take a look at the human population. Imagine what it would be like if everyone was immortal. No deaths. Everyone gets to live forever. The Earth would have been overpopulated over a thousand years ago.

Me: I wouldn’t mind being immortal…

Grim: I know you would but look at it from my point of view. If everything could last till eternity, would you still cherish them as much? Would time be precious to you? You’d take Life for granted and I can tell you, she will be very upset.

Me: But wouldn’t that give you lots of hate mail? Because you bring death to the beautiful things people love and cherish.

Grim: Firstly… I don’t really have an address for people to send me hate mail… And precisely because I am able to take away things they cherish and love, it gives them a reason to hold dear to what they have. Moreover, no matter what Life throws at you. You can be sure of one thing. I will be there to put a stop at it. No matter how rich or poor, healthy or sickly, popular or despised, I am waiting for you at the end of the road. I will always be there… waiting.

Me: Well, that’s all the time we have today. Thank you Grim, for gracing your presence in my blog.

Grim: Thank you for having me here.

Me: Well folks, if you have further questions for Grim here. Just put in a comment at this blog entry and I’ll do my best to get an answer from Grim for you. Thanks for reading! Cheerios!
