This is a short poetic story based on characters from the Magicians series.
I am beyond life,
I am beyond strife,
I am long beyond my last breath,
I'm among the angelic host,
some call me a ghost,
I awoke one day dead or as good as dead,
I knew not how it was even possible me being a ghost
as I was the king of the grim reapers, so I cannot die in a normal way as this to become a ghost.

This should work I'm surprised people are so careless with security," the Chameleon said laughing. They climbed up the lattice trying not to be pricked by the thorns of the rose that climbed up it as well.
"The alarm is off or it should be, but I'll disable it," said the Chameleon.
He cut the alarm wire and jimmied the window till it opened.
They climbed in the room and looked about it.
"The safe is behind that painting," said the Chameleon pointing at the only picture in the room.
"Ok who will do the work you or me?" asked the Cat who was as skilled a cracksman as the Chameleon.
"It's my turn you did the last job," said the Chameleon who walked over to the picture removing it handing it to the Cat to put down.
The Chameleon put his ear to the safe and cracked the lock and opened the door removing the contents out of the safe putting it in a backpack on the Cat's back.

"Where are you going?" asked Blake's Uncle.
"Never you mind," said Blake.
"He's a coward," said Lance.
"No would you be in my place I can't be deposed as emperor of the solar system if I'm not there," Blake said.
"Didn't think of that," said Simon.
"I'll do it," said Lance defiantly thinking how much of a problem it would be to his father.
