    This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series. 
I am beyond life, 
I am beyond strife, 
I am long beyond my last breath, 
I'm among the angelic host, 
some call me a ghost, 
I awoke one day dead or as good as dead, 
I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost 
as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.
