The Fare, part hat (Shaera)

Glancing at the list between traffic lights Phillip realized that there were only two more stops to be made, the 378 Police Precinct building and Serendipity.

“Phillip are we near the precinct building?”

“Another couple blocks.”

“Good. The list is almost completed and my time almost up“

“Do you make the list up?”

“No my dear. It is given to me for completion of my part and then it is passed to another. Why Phillip, are you interested?”

“Not in what you do.”

“What I do is simply what I must. It is why I exist.”

“I don’t want to do it. I know what you are, and that’s all I want to know.”

“What is that?”

“You’re Death.”

“No Phillip, I am not death. I wish I were, the things I could do. Alas, I am simply a vessel.”

“A vessel. Shaera you killed that guy earlier. You kissed him…or something and he was gone”

“He was not happy and wanted to leave that’s why he found me attractive and invited my touch. I did not take anything from him, he gave me what he wanted me to have”

“Give…take…what the hell ever, he’s dead.”

“That man will live far longer then others in this world. Here lover let me help you with your needed release.”

Phillip swooned as again he felt the approach of yet another ‘little death’.
