Shout-out to my friend who, several days after reading this, turned to me mid-conversation and said "yeah, some people try to use magic and caffeine to overwork themselves, isn't that right, THEO" while shooting me a judgey look as if it were ME that did that, rather than our boy William. Look, just because I stay up late animating doesn't mean I would ever go to THIS level of bad habits. Besides, as far as you all know, I don't have access to magic.
If the Reaper gives the guy another chance I wonder what the consequence of that would be also love the joke about the dead man and Theo getting genders wrong since it's pretty relatable

____________________________________________________
Phoenix Wren wants 3 things:
1. To spend time with his best friend, Ollie;
2. for his town to accept him even without the magical apprenticeship everyone except him received when they came of age;
3. and for people to actually see him as a boy, the way he knows he is.
All of that goes out the window when he nearly dies and wakes up face-to-face with the Grim Reaper, a figure that he wasn't sure was even real until then. Turns out he had an apprenticeship after all-- just not one that he ever wanted.
Now Phoenix has to learn the ropes of this strange new job, try to find his way back home to Ollie, not to let any ghosts (or anything else) blow up in his face, and figure out why in the Gods' names he even got chosen for this in the first place.
Warning: this comic contains death and fantasy violence. This was probably evident from the title but I wanted to make sure I had my bases covered.
