On "The Last Call" by R. A. Keenan (4593 words) ***

In this story from the Guest Quarters series on the Edge of Propinquity, a man somehow finds himself transformed into the grim reaper--and this not by his own will. Nor does he get to decide who dies. He's just someone's minion, out to harvest bodies for the dead. The situation of this story is really quite unique. I could see this as a movie somewhere, some kind of M. Night Shyamalan piece. Read the story here at Edge of Propinquity.
