Deathâs favourite human comes to visit. The young girl has a medical condition where her heart stops for a few minutes every once in awhile. Death is the girlâs favourite friend.
The Undead Father
[8 years earlier⊠LILIANA]
My vision blurs, before it goes entirely black.
âDeath?â I shout, remembering this is his favorite moment to appear.
I see his hunched figure.
âDeath!â
I stand up on legs I cannot see and sprint towards the darker side.
âI missed you so much-â I say, burying my face in his cloak.
âLily, I missed you too.â
I smile.
âDeath, what do I do if I canât see my legs?â I ask, looking up toward his face. The unreadable expression clouds his answer.
âUh, donât worry. Youâll be able to feel them soonâŠâ
âWill I?â
âYes, Lily,â he replies, hugging me before crouching. âIâm almost afraid to say you have to go back now.â
I hug him back and tears cloud my eyes.
âIâm going to miss you, Death.â
*not my best work*

So, if you read my âSTORY IDEASâ writing, you would know who Liliana is. My point is to make her different. She never had a father, so Death was the figure she went to. Iâll fix and develop this to make it better, but, for now, I was thinking thisâll do.
