The Reaper's Secret Agent

PROMPT BY @AbleWorld  : The Grim Reaper cannot collect lives directly anymore. Instead a mark appears on people. Anyone nearby is tasked with the duty of killing you on sight. The MC has a disability. How will they handle this task?


Max high-fived his best friend Brandon. A wide smile of pride lit both their faces. "Dude! This is the sweetest ride ever. Thank you!"

"You know this is totally sick, and morbid-sick too, right?"

"I can't exactly run them down like you, so this is the next best thing." Max looked over his wheelchair with its hidden cornucopia of tricks. "I feel like James Bond. So Q, tell me again how everything works."

Brandon rolled his eyes. "Someone who's marked won't be getting near to anyone. Why do you think they'd get near you?"

"People don't see me, Bran. They see the chair. Then they think 'helpless' and 'not a threat'. I could be the Reaper's best secret agent."

"Ha, ha, funny. Alright, you press this button and-" Knives jutted out from the wheels like the Nightmare On Elm Street movie. "I recommend you don't use these unless you have some speed."

"Sweet!" crowed Max.

"This button sends a current through all the metal on the chair. Make sure you aren't touching it or you'll get it too."

"Lights out?"

"And then some. Enough voltage to probably take down a baby elephant. I've put some straps in a pocket under the seat you can use to attach their hand to the metal if you need. "

"Where are the weapons?"

Brandon chuckled. "You are definitely not helpless." As he talked Brandon pointed to different spots around the arms of the chair that were covertly lined with an arsenal of knives. "Your machete is tucked in here, the carpet cutters over here, and the kitchen knives back here."

"Where's the taser?" Max asked.

"Here at the front." Brandon took it out and gave it to his friend. "You just need to aim it at the person and press the top button. The electrodes will fly out and zap! Down they go, then you finish them off however you want."

"Awesome!" Max turned the taser over in his hands examining it. "I can't thank you enough, Brandon. You're the best for helping me build this. I'm going to miss you, man."

Before Brandon's eyes had fully widened, Max hit him with the taser.

Tears streaming down his face, Max explained, "The mark showed up two days ago. That's why I kept you inside."

After his best friend stopped jerking on the ground, Max strapped his hand to the metal frame and hit the button.

Once he'd stopped sobbing, Max leaned down to close Brandon's eyes. Before he rolled away he said, "Consider that a successful field test."
