Challenge
Who is...
Death. Who is death? Is it a person? Is it a girl, a boy, or a non-binary? Is it simply something that happens. Can death choose what it does?
Write a short story or poem about someone coming to terms with death whether that means meeting death or just coming to term with the fact they are dying.
Warning: Death and the lord or king of the dead are not the same things. One lords over the souls once they are dead and the other actually does the death thing. If your version of death is the king, queen, lord, lordess etc of the realm of the dead they can't be the devil, hades or something of the like.
Death
Death is a smile
across the face of one ready to face it.
Death is a champion
that saves a tortured body
or a tortured soul.
Death is the peace
that finds the devastation of war
and the emptiness of famine.
Death is a gift
when it is time to return HOME.
