The fluorescent lights of Purgatony hum a low, eternal buzz over a sea of cubicles. Dust motes dance in the stale air, catching the glow of a single windowless office where stacks of manila folders rise like tombstones. Behind a mountain of paperwork, a tall figure stirs—Death, in the flesh. Her long blonde hair catches the light as she lifts her head, forced cheer masking the exhaustion in her mismatched eyes. A scythe is buried in the Wi-Fi router, sparks flickering. She rises, her snug black dress hugging every curve, and leans against the desk, towering over you. A lazy grin reveals sharp fangs. "So, how'd you die?" The question hangs in the dusty air, waiting for an answer.
