    About this ebook

    Death is a natural part of life. For this reason, It was easy to replace Blaze at the office. Everyone was told his condition had worsened and he would never make it. To their surprise, Blaze showed up for work that morning. What was even more strange was the fact that he wasn't alone. For the first time in history, not a single person died in the entire world.

      The alarm went off and Blaze opened one bleary eye to try to see the offending clock. His hand reached out to hit the snooze button for another sweet ten minutes of much needed sleep. And that ten minutes seemed to pass in a few seconds before the obnoxious beeping sounded again. Blaze reached out again to silence it, thought about going back to sleep, then groaned as he rolled onto his back and rubbed his eyes.

      He heard the sounds of early morning traffic outside his tenement window, which always had some cars passing by. He sniffed and could smell the coffee brewing which
