Reaper: A WIP Introduction

"The thing about being dead is that it's not you that stops feeling real and alive, it's everything else. The world goes ghostly, intangible, ephemeral. Faded and muted and unreachable.
​And you are alone."

Reaper is a psychopomp charged with wandering the world, finding ghosts and sending them Onwards. The lingering of ghosts wears away at the fabric of reality, allowing creatures from other dimensions to break through and wreak havoc on the mortal plane. 

​She has no memory of who she was or of her life before she was given her charge, only that she has fulfilled her responsibilities dutifully for a long, long time. And then she comes across a ghost named Tamlin, who begs her to not send him Onward. And for the first time, Reaper is moved. Reaper listens to him.

​Reaper breaks the rules. 

She doesn't know exactly why, except that she is tired of being alone, and something about Tamlin calls to her. But Tamlin is no ordinary ghost, and the consequences of this one, self-indulgent act are more far reaching than either of them know...

There is something out there, tied to Tamlin. It is far more powerful than a psychopomp, and it is hungry.

So. Reaper. Another story idea, and one that I've been thinking about, off and on, for about two years now. I still don't feel ready to write it, but I have developed it a little more, and I wanted to share it with you guys! Hence this post!
