109 words about purpose, fulfilment, and the futile push back against fate | The Davis Daily

The Grim Reaper (also known as Death) stands in frame. The Reaper is wearing a hooded cloak. The hood is pulled over its head. A deep, black shadow hides its face. The Reaper is holding a scythe with a long brown shaft. There's a small chip along the lower edge of the claw-shaped blade. The Reaper’s body is angled to the right but its head is turned to the left. Death waits for somebody.

You’re looking at a hand drawn map. The edges are rough and torn in spots. The map plots out four islands in a section of an unnamed sea. Two islands are grouped together in the upper-right corner. One is much smaller than the other. Another island sits at the bottom edge of the map. A rose compass is to the left; each point of the star guides you to north, east, south, and west. And a pirate ship is to the right; the ship’s flag is blackened, its symbol is that of a Kraken’s skull. The fourth and final island is located in the upper-left corner of the map. A large treasure chest sits atop this island. Its location is marked with a big red X.

With their heads slightly cocked to the left, they both appear to be looking at something in the distance. Something out of frame.

A dog collar is clasped together. It circles nothing but air. The edges of the thick, leather collar are a dark blue, as is the inside of the collar. The outer layer of leather is a lighter shade of blue. Both are odd colours for a dog collar. The clasp is a light shade of grey, which is a proper collar for something made of metal. There are five holes punched in the collar to adjust the neck hole size.
