Sylvia,

Nothing supernatural about comments.

First, I like this little piece.  Having the grim reaper appear as a handsome young dude who still loves a woman works for me.  And he's come for her.  From the dialogue, this is a regular gig, and all the other times she's managed to stave off his advances.  This time, it's different.  I'll buy that.  And since he told her how he got the gig, she can take it from him.  What is missing is why he wants out of the job.  I didn't get the reason he was weary of the job.  Not that being the reaper wouldn't be wearing.  And it kept him young.  Hmmm

In any case, the dialogue works for me, and the action plays out.  Good job.

Best
Richard
