Don’t Fall for It

So after you’re dead you’re offered a plush job as a supernatural entity, like a reaper. The perks are that you can still see your family and friends after your work is done. You think great, sign me up, after all I’m not ready to die…

blue moon—
while you work
around the clock,
everyone you care about
dies

And not only that, but entities aren’t allowed to congregate, have friends, or have any contact with each other, so you’re all alone forever…

Moby Dick—
a whale
of loneliness
swallows you
whole
