The Second of my 2026 Halloween Stories Death is lonely....ten thousand years lonely....so when Mal, Death himself, decides to adopt a morning routine and enjoy a cup of coffee, he has no idea how convoluted that act will become. His favorite coffee shop has a demonic creation of a coffee. Grim Reaper's Delight, and he is determined to taste the bliss...but there is, of course, a problem. Tiffany Slayer is always in front of him in line. And, every single time, she gets the last Grim Reaper's Delight....every time. So Mal, being Death, decides to erase her early, reap her soul a month early just to get a taste of that coffee. The trouble really begins when he tries to hack the system...and ends up finding a life in Death that he didn't know could exist, didn't know he wanted...until he discovered it though Tiffany, who was more ancient than even Death.
