A Grim Reaping: Selah, the Universe, #2

By Dean Shearer

Selah. A simple world, a great world, an easy world--a world where your life is predetermined. Selah, oh Selah, where you're shunned for even thinking about living someway else.

But the plan has gone wrong. People kinda sorta don't like what they do. They want out. They want a new life.

But can they gain the courage to escape the system?

Probably not, but there's a chance.

Dean Shearer presents yet another Selah the Universe story that will make you laugh and think both at the same time.

A GRIM REAPING

Kurt Mayflower had never been hit by a horse running at lightspeed before. He had never been hit by a horse running at any speed.

Good thing, he thought, because that would really hurt.

And then he got out of bed.

Shit, he thought, once his feet hit the cold stone floor. It was another day. Another day of work.

The room was dark and cold. Last night he had been too tired to get up and put more wood on the fire.

How would this day go? Any better than the others? For once would he fail to do his duty?

Nah. It would be the same as all the others. He knew this because he was walking across the room to the stove, where he would toss five or six handfuls of pine needles inside, then a couple logs, then light a match and flick it in, which he did every morning.

Yeah, it was a bad start. His heart was already beating at lightspeed, and his mind was racing.
