Reaper came on a sunday morning It was a normal day in her closely knitted family Papa Hulu got ready late Mama Hulu was already dressed The rest of the family got ready They were all going out together But they were stopped by an uninvited guest Mr. Reaper the uninvited guest.
Papa! We are ready! They called him. He came out dressed and ready Hulu's phone beeped, lighting up her face It was a job interview for Monday She joined the rest of the family outside But they came face to face with the guest Mr. Reaper the uninvited guest.
It's time for y'all to join me. He said They looked at themselves in shock But we didn't do anything wrong. They said. Please don't hurt us. They pleaded. Take me instead. Mama Hulu said. Leave my children. She continued. Very well then. Reaper said. Come with me! He said.
Hulu watched her mama move Her mama took Mr. Reaper's hands She watched her family cry She felt a lump of pain in her heart It was painful to watch her mama go No! She screamed. If you take my mama, who will stay with papa? If you take my brother, who will care for his wife? I have no husband or children to care for, I have no riches or wealth to hold me back, Take me instead, I have nothing to loose... Hulu pleaded.
Alright then, follow me instead. Reaper said He took Hulu's hands, and left Mama's. But Mama couldn't bear to watch her go, No! Mama screamed. I can't let you take my child. She said. Mama stay, I have to go, Hulu said. Take care of papa. She said. But Mama refused to let Hulu go Take me, Take me.* Mama screamed. Mr. Reaper got confused.
I don't have time for this. Mr. Reaper said I give you one week to make up your minds. He said. Choose your sacrificial lamb, I will be back. He said Mr. Reaper disappeared leaving the family together. Their memories got wiped, None knew what had happened, None except Hulu, she remembered it all.
It was a Sunday morning The day for Mr. Reaper's visitation It was a normal day in her closely knitted family Papa Hulu got ready late Mama Hulu was already dressed The rest of the family got ready They were all going out together This day was familiar to Hulu She remembered it all Their meeting with Mr. Reaper.
Papa! We are ready! They called him. He came out dressed and ready Hulu wanted to save her family from Reaper She couldn't tell her family what is to come They will call her mad, superstitious and crazy So she decided to make them leave the house earlier Before the time of Mr. Reaper Mama, promise me never to sacrifice yourself if death comes> Mama looked at her in shock, Are you okay? She asked. We have to leave now! Hulu screamed.
Hulu's phone beeped, just like that day It was a job interview for Monday She knew what this meant, It was almost time for Mr. Reaper And they were running late! She was faster than Reaper, She made her family dress up earlier. Her reserved memory was a blessing.
It was time for Mr. Reaper, He appeared in their empty home, Hulu and her family are gone! Hulu checked the time, it was Reaper's time. She was halfway gone in the truck with her family She checked the time again, Reaper's time was past Her family is alive, her Mama and Papa chuckled. Her brother and wife cuddled behind. She smiled at her family, whispering under her breath, Mr. Reaper, not today!
