Characters
The Grim Reaper
The grim reaper will be a polite man with a old and wise voice a will
have a mighty intellect as he has been around for thousands of years as
he has a vital job to do. He will be fighting for the mans soul to punish
him for his sins and will have a dirty old bag to place his soul. He will
be a optimistic man who will not treat the angel as an enemy but as an
old friend doing a different job and will have a long relationship with
him and they have back and forward banter with one another.
Angel
The angel is a nice person who is optimistic but tire as he has been dong
this thankless job for years and can sometimes act a bit angry towards
people at times but deep down is a good person. He acts more like death
than you would expect to but he seems to like death and his view on life
and finds the concept of him saving lives for no reason charming. He two
has a good relationship with death and they have a mutual respect for one
another.
Jonathan
An elderly man who has done a lot in life from petty crimes to his
relationship with his deceased wife and his role will be shown in various
flashbacks as he is dying.
Fade in
We fade in to see a man dying in his bed with nothing around him we zoom
in to a machine showing us his lifeline.
We show his bed from afar and suddenly two chairs are seen one which is
bright white and decorated nicely and the other a black chair will have
thorns and have a gothic throne chair look.
-Location: Jonathan's house
Death

Adam

think some deserved to saved

last century
Death

chair)
Adam
Yes of course straight to the point as always
Adam proceeds to sit down and death sits soon after.Adam sits with one
leg crossed where death sits with both feet on the ground.
Death speaks while sharing out the cards between each other.
Death
His crimes were they severe or simple ones
Adam
They were pretty bad he murdered his boss with a gun one in the
heart two in the head
Death
What were the circumstances
Adam
His boss gave her no choice but to have relations with him or make
Jonathan lose his job they seemed to be in debt so she did it to
help keep them alive
Death
Im guessing he was enraged by this
Adam
Yes but murder seems like an overreaction to me
Death
We have no right to judge him thats not our jobs we have never
lived a normal life so we cant say what is right and wrong
Adam
Always a fun time you know that
We here the life machines beep get louder and flash to a young man back
in the past arguing with his wife
Fade in from white

that he had no power over and now a part of you belongs to him
to.
Jonathan looks at his nightstand door and Stefanie shakes her head scared
Jonathan

life
Jonathan runs out the door and it flashes to white to a carpark with a
man wearing a suit

just thinking you and your wife should come round my house for

gun)

Adam
-Fade in from white
-Location: Jonathan's house
Death
I think I remember that if I recall I won that game
Adam
Yes I only had one card left we were playing black jack like today
Death
Yes some irony there for him
Adam

Death
If i seem to recall Adam you were human at one point or another
Adam
Were you ever human
Death

Death
Was she the one you won
Adam
Yes she was 27 lost her son at birth
Death
i remember you were sad if i remember you had his soul as well
Adam
A baby cannot commit sin his soul was pure so he belongs to me
Death
Yes we fight for those who have made good and bad but if a soul is truly
pure they are yours but if they are evil with no hope of redemption they
were mine a fair system if i say so myself
Adam
Are you only saying its fair because your winning
Death
Death releases a hearty laugh
We hear the beeping getting louder again and we fade to white
-Fade in from white
-Location: Jonathan's house
All we can see is hanging legs as someone comes up the stairs

He pauses and screams as it fades to white with loud beeping heard again
