5SF: Harvest





HUZZAH! Lillie McFerrin has posted another Five Sentence Fiction challenge
This is my spin on the current prompt:

HARVEST


Reaping souls was a grisly business - but curious too, and full of surprises. The final gasp, a last look of wonder (or terror), a squeaky question forced through a dying breath...there was no way to know how a person would ultimately face death until the last second.

Welsan hadn't filled his soul-glass in a while. His customers weren't happy; they'd been begging for a fresh supply for weeks - but he wasn't worried. Murder and war, plague and massacre all thrived in the world, and it was his duty to know where to find them.

Questions? Comments? Let me know!
