"Dead Like Me" is an amazing TV show. The premise of the story is that Grim Reapers walk the earth and are given post-its with names,times, and locations to pull a soul before painfull death befalls them. They then escort the soul onward to ... let's just call it their afterlife.
Anywho, the first episode starts with a new to the job Reaper. She is learning the ropes of the job but is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that they can do nothing to stop a person's death. In an attempt to see if she can alter fate, she moves a small child away from her regular seat on a train that is doomed to crash. The girl survives the accident due to the Reaper's interference. However, once the Boss Reaper finds out about her interference, he is livid.
He tells her "Every soul expires. Do you know what happens when you keep a soul around after its' time? If you don't take her soul, it's going to wither and die and rot inside her."
I have thought back on this quote many times. Sometimes I think, that's what must have happened to me. Because I remember being a different person, having a passion for life. But now, all that is gone. My soul is tired, I can feel that.
Did someone forget to take my soul when I should have died? Because I can feel it dying inside me, and I can't keep living like this.
