Stolen Essence

Enemies are sprouting up everywhere,
But the biggest one may be within myself.
Anyone know the best way to bury a monster?

I'm back, but I'm no longer Elite Grim Reaper Zella Healani. No, things are changing in my small corner of Delon. And very few of those changes are good. Yes, even Grim Reapers get stressed out.

With a new title, new responsibilities, and an entire world to reap, I've been handed an impossible job. One that comes with dire consequences for failure. To complicate matters, someone seems determined to end everything before the ridiculous deadline comes to pass.

That's not all, either. My monster is becoming more unruly and demanding, causing strife in my tenuous relationships. An Angel is forced into my circle, putting me on edge. Accidents follow me, threatening my life and the lives of those around me. Favors and threats become my mantra, casting me as my father's daughter. Those around me reveal hidden secrets, leaving me off-kilter.

Of course, I'll survive, but I'm not sure how much of myself will remain intact. With my monster attempting to take over, Grim Grouping Mannix trying to change me, and everyone else working to destroy me, I'm in for a pot licking time.
