The Red Tape

After I died, I guess my desperation to survive was enough for the Red Tape to rescue me and offer me continued existence as a Death Agent.


They used moving my file from the mortal section to the immortal worker section to explain the filing system. I noticed that there were Death Agents for us Death Agents, and I asked how far up that went.


My instructor laughed.


"Oh, it's paperwork all the way down, as it were."


There was a pause, then I sighed softly.


"I bet you say that to all new recruits."


"Oh no, not quite all."
