Does Death have kids? Do I really have to answer that question?

Hermes (Well, we're kind of frenemies, because he thinks he's a better psychopomp than me.)
Hypnos (My kind and gentle brother)
Charon (My old and cranky brother)
Hades (My awesome king)
The Fates (Who seriously make me work overtime…)
Tartarus (Sure, he's a bottomless black pit, but he's always been there when I needed him.)

Sisyphus (Who thought he was sooooo cool when he outsmarted me.)
Heracles (Who totally humiliated me when he beat me at wrestling)
The Keres (My mean sisters who cause violent deaths)

Very single

Anybody, please!

Dead Like Me (Canceled before its time. No other show so accurately portrays the challenges of my job.)
Wrestlemania (Been watching this to pick up tips in case I have to wrestle Heracles again.)
The Walking Dead (More proof that I'm totally necessary.)

"Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality."
– Emily Dickinson

"Life and Death are the only truth."
– Proverb

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live."
– Bette Midler

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck that which is planted."
