"This is the seed of life that gives life to everything. It can save a life that is about to die. No matter how big the wound or injury," he explained to me so I saw how important that seed was. "But it has gone down and there is little left. The tree of life has died and these seeds have no ability to grow and bear fruit. We have tried to plant, but the seed was wasted because it did not grow and it was just spoiled ."

“Come on. Thirty-eight pages will not write themselves and Helena Osei is coming at three and I want one hour in the garden before all of that.” He walked beside her. “The book is thirty-eight pages now,” he said. “It was seventeen this morning.” “Four pages before seven,” she said. “The chapter about my mother in the corridor. Helena Calloway walking into a building twenty-six years ago to present a framework to people who had not yet encountered the case it was built for. I have been trying to write that chapter for two weeks and this morning it arrived.” Her phone vibrated. Dr. Kwame Asante. Not an email. A call.

Those cases were called Spector protocols and more often than not, the reapers would just let the soul become ghosts. There was no protocol for what Lisa had just seen. She had never heard of anything like that happening in all her time as a reaper. Humans were born, they lived and they died, the end. That was the iron law of the universe that every human was subject to without exception. Of course, some could get lucky and survive fatal incidents but no one was so lucky that their wounds instantly healed. Something was definitely up and Lisa had a feeling she wouldn’t like what came next.

There were glimpses and unfinished sentences. Lifeless body of a child, probably a weak blood. ‘Another disappointm—’ Peeled skin. Severed muscles. ‘Burn him, prepare the other—’ Eyeballs leaking from the eye sockets. People struggling as her helpers stuffed clothes in their mouth to muffle their groans. ‘Prepare the other—’ ‘This isn’t working? Where am I going wrong? What is all this even worth—’ She didn’t just research immortality — she twisted it, bent it to her will, corrupting everything and everyone she touched.

But because screaming took energy I didn't have, and because somewhere deep inside, something was changing. My mother's blood, maybe. Or something older than that. Something that refused to die. The thirteenth lash. The fourteenth. The fifteenth. And then, suddenly, it stopped. I hung from the chains, barely conscious, my back a ruin of torn flesh and flowing blood. I couldn't feel my body anymore. I couldn't feel anything except the deep, cold emptiness where my wolf should have been. But I was still breathing. I was still alive. Through the roaring in my ears, I heard voices.

Whether it's smiling or still blank. I raised my eyebrows. It was only now that Elijah became interested in the books I was reading. But that's okay because I memorized the story. "The story is about a normal girl, her name is Bella Swan. She lives in Phoenix Arizona where it's hot. Her parents are divorced and her mother has a new husband. Because the step has a world tour with his dad because he was a professional baseball player had to go to his father's place in Forks, Washington. Forks is a cold place covered in ice and it always rains. He hates the cold climate, but there's nothing he can do about it because his stepdad's world tour was half a year. He came back to Forks.

The book had an entire thirty-page chapter on soul resurrection but not soul fetching.

So all I can do is continue to search the home and sleep. Today, however, I know what needs to be done. I can't wait any longer. If I stay here, I'm not going to have any hope, so, I take a thick coat from Death's closet, and open the front door again. A foggy mist skates over the tundra.
