FOR I HAVE SINNED – novella from Darynda Jones

 

“So that’s all you remember? Falling?”

Surprised, I straightened my shoulders. I was sitting on her dresser, as the only chair in the room sat buried under a pile of clothes. “Yes.”

“Considering the fact that you’re here,” she said, scrubbing her forehead with the back of her hand, “I’d say your stop was fairly sudden.”

I swallowed and licked my lips, but they had no taste, no texture, like I’d just been to the dentist. With head bowed, I asked a question I already knew the answer to. “Am I dead?”

“As a doornail in August.”

Meet Charley Davidson, otherwise known as the Grim Reaper. Dealing with death, one strong coffee at a time, this short story will show you why Darynda Jones’s books are loved by millions of readers worldwide.
