Shinigami
 Hi Guys and Girls, my name is Anthony or Ant which ever you prefer. I have written this Pasta to tell you about my experience about meeting a Shinigami or God as Death in English.

  I was 15 when I have first of 'The God of Death' via T.V and documentaries, things that my Gran used to put on T.V when we used to visit her. I did not believe what she thought or what the people in the documentaries used to say about how they will plan your death anyway they wanted to and how they can collect your spirit after death. They all seemed fake and unrealistic in my eyes. So I ignored the T.V and blanked out my Gran whenever she talked about them. To help me focus on my future and what I will want to do after school.

  After about 1 and a half years after I have hear of Shinigami and what they basically what they do, I started to get little glimpses in my dreams (from what I can remember from them) starring in to a black hole with the outline of an object inside it. I had no idea what this meant at the time, so I ignored it as I have before. The problem was that it was always at the end of the dream, before I wake up.

  Where I used to live (which I will not say as I believe that something horrible is at work there) there where many families and couples that were all so very happy. I was always alone up until the age of 16. Before I 'had' someone to care for I had my best mate, Dan. We always used to talk about strange things like zombies, slender and murders. But never 'The God of Death', we played computer games and went to the gym about 3 or 4 times a week together. I realized that ever since I have heard of 'The God of Death' my life started to change. In school I started to think about how to kill my teachers and peers. My effort grade went down to 3.5 and my attendance started to slowly go down as well. My best friend and I fell out. This has never ever happened before, for a week we did not speak or play games, for 3 weeks we did not go to the gym together. Finally we sorted thing out between us and we were fine.

 I told Dan (for the first time) about the 'The God of Death' when we were play video games online and decided to go the very old Library in the town center. During the weekend we met up and looked at a few old books that looked like they have not been touched for years. The dust made both me and my friend cough like hell. The title of the book was called 'The Age of the Shinigami'. We found out that 'Shinigami' is the Japanese word for 'God of Death'. In Japanese culture this is the God that invites the human towards death and provokes suicidal thoughts. The way the human kills him or herself will be the way the Shinigami decided to enjoy its self. If it was an accident or hanging their self, the way you die is the way the Shinigami helps itself to your spirit.

 The thing the shocked me the most about reading the books was on one of the pages it contained the same black hole at the end of my dreams. But the object inside was must clearer   was in my dreams. In fact it was not an object but a human like figure. It seemed tall and slender with huge eyes and a creepy mouth with sharp teeth. I it explained that the Shinigami is not that evil as it is his job the help humans to the 'other side'. I looked at the page with shocked as I could not believe my eyes and suddenly stop and starred at the page as I have done in my dreams. Dan looked at me and snapped me out of the trance. I explained to him about the ends of my dreams and he seemed to nod but a nod that was not agreeing or disagreeing with me, more like judging whether to accept it happened or think I was crazy. Luckily in the end he believed me. We kept on reading but the information did not filter in my brain as I was too busy thinking about the picture.

After 2 more hours of meaningless reading we decided to go home and rest until college that starts on Monday. 3 weeks later at the break of dawn I woke up to a slender figure, immediately I think of the Shinigami and how he will make me kill myself. It was the Shinigami, but he seemed to only stare at me and breathe heavily. He only muttered a few words "Remember, I will always be there. I will always be watching and I will decide your death!" I turned to switch on my light, but as I turned back he had vanished.
