untitled William T Spears short

Shadows and lying blue dolls
Make thee much delighted

The shinigami took off his coat and set it on the hanger by the door. It had been quite the day at work.
"Overtime these days has been all the more annoying", he lamented. Trully, the increase in deaths the past week or so was something that provednhard to overlook. Funny thing, the cause of this, nowhere to be found.

William walked into the small kitchen of his apartment and began making himself some tea. Despite being late, the shinigami felt like he wasn't, for once, meant to sleep that night.
It might have been the fatigue turning to hypertension, it might have been a sudden craving for English breakfast. Who knew?
The only thing in William's mind was that this might wasn't to be wasted on sleep. The clouds, clear to be seen by the kitchen window, were black as if it were about to rain. The reaper was used to the London weather, even in his realm. No stars were to be seen and the moon must have been hiding behind the menacing clouds.

Embrace like a snake,
Trace through my silk nape

The crackling of the gramophone as it played, gave the house a sense of coziness few would expect.

William walked towards his leather armchair, cup of tea warm in his hand.
He sat down, leaving the cup on the table beside him. He closed his eyes, exhaling with content.
Perhaps, nights like these are to be enjoyed in solitude.
