Ha never heard of those, will definitely check those out. In my story Death actually has a best friend/room mate named Morty. But Death doesn’t become a farmer (damn I never thought of that, but glad I didn’t). The joke for my story is Death gets a job with a dying industry – Movie Rental Business. Building towards essentially Morty giving Death a checklist of ways to “establish” a life. It involves 1) Getting a new job. 2) Getting a place to live (he kind of just mooches off Morty) 3) Find a girlfriend (this happens cause Death falls in love, but has no way of knowing what to do about it), and 4) Get some hobbies (because after he is fired, Death just watches movies ALL day long, and makes messes and doesn’t clean them, so Morty wants him getting active and meeting other people – anything to help what is clearly a grieving Death).

Thanks! yea that was some good stuff. I have modified it so now he knows the state of the future based on the journal. Now it is a matter of him and others actually believing it. Another thing worth knowing is that the hero is terrified of the future. He doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life, and is scared all his friends will move on and leave him behind. So in a way, when he finds this journal, it doesn’t scare him, no matter how bleak the future is, because he for once feels he has control and knowledge of it. The reason he takes on this task to save the world/his city is an attempt to further keep his friends and them “hanging out” essentially.
