Grim Reaper’s Day Off

Pen a story around the Grim Reaper deciding to take an unexpected day off.

Every employee needs a break, even the Grim Reaper. Write a story exploring how the Reaper achieves rest, leisure, or perhaps a bit of tomfoolery on his day off. You could bring in aspects of his work encroaching into his time-off, or explore the mess it creates in the world. Tap into themes of work-life balance, unlikely empathy and morose amusement while injecting a sense of dark humor with this prompt.
