Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),
Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
First Impression: Well..this was not quite what I was expecting with that title, but well, I was most definitely very pleasantly surprised by the premise here, and I think this could make for a pretty cool story here.
Anyway let's get right to it,
Do you know how does it feel to wake up every morning, knowing that you’re going to die. I don’t mean die as in its inevitable, everyone dies. I mean die as in you know the exact date, the exact time, the exact way.
Well, that definitely seems like the sort of thing that would most definitely way on the mind of most mortal beings there if you're going to be knowing the exact date and even the actual time that the death is going to happen at. At any rate, this is a very interesting little start here to this story..it definitely gets your attention right away here.
No, of course you answer back with a no. You humans are so ignorant. You travel through life knowing you’re going to die, but pay no mind to the inevitability of it. None of you realize what death really is, you think that its crossing over into paradise. It isn’t. Death is relative like time. What if I told you that time and death were linked infact they were mirror images of each other.
Okay...first of all, bold of you to assume everyone reading this is a human...but uhh jokes aside...this is definitely a very strong statement here to have a prologue start off with,we've got ourselves that appears to be quite experienced with death and is just about to drop some proper facts on what death truly is...and that's quite interesting soo...let's see how this goes here.
There's only one difference. One is recognized fondly among the living, while the other is prevented. Yet there is a group of us, those who have no choice, but to accept death simply because we are death. We are an embodiment of the thing feared by all, the thing hated by all.
Oooh, well that is interesting, it looks like this is something from the perspective of literal death..or ghosts or something along those lines and that in general just sounds like an awesome premise here, especially the way they talk of being hated by a lot of folks and how they have to accept death because of that...it definitely sounds very intriguing here.
We have no cool name that when announced makes someone shudders, infact there is no knowledge of our existence. We walk among people, we walk among shadows, and most importantly we walk among graves. There is just one draw back, our time on Earth is limited and there is only one that can travel back with us, become a slave themselves. So as they warned me I’ll remind you: Never get attached.
Okay...well, this ends off on potentially the most scary note of the whole prologue and I think that's a great choice there, ending with a warning like that, especially in a prologue always seems to lend itself quite well to making readers really want to read on, and well it certainly works on me...
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
Overall: Overall, quite a solid prologue that you've got right here, definitely got my attention pretty much right away and this seems like it could be a pretty cool story here.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
