“She’s married now, and has a son. She just passed the bar in Ohio. I’d say your little sister is doing great.”
“I…I don’t know…” She trailed off.
I nodded, understanding full well how it felt to lose your sibling and then get them back. “We’ll just call it even.” Honestly, I didn’t know if I could ever repay all she’d done for me. Without her, I might never have found the strength to become who I needed to be.
To become Michael Reaper.
Emma threw her arms around me, her tears starting to flow freely. “Thank you, Michael.”
I hugged her back. She might be a demon, but she was still a good person. She might be my enemy, but she was also my friend.
That was the life I now lived.
That was the life I chose.
About the Author
Jeremy Hance is a forty-year-old man who only acts his age as a desperate last resort. He holds three degrees, including two from the University of Washington; since none of them have anything to do with writing, or anything Jeremy is likely to ever write about, he’s really just bragging and should realize you don’t care. Jeremy’s day job is writing computer software (at least until he’s a world famous author with legions of adoring fans and his own HBO series…which should be, you know, any day now). He lives with his loving wife and two beautiful daughters in the Seattle area, where he has been known to pounce at them from around corners, and tickle all of them without mercy.
This is Jeremy’s first book, but it is far from his last.
