In the quiet space between life and midnight, Death makes a mistake.

He arrives early.

Vivienne McCann, bewildered and half‑dying, bargains for five more minutes of breath — and wins. But time is merciless, and the Reaper must take her hand and lead her into a world that is already fading.

The Mortal Coil – Extended is a whispered confession from the Reaper himself:

his brief life as a man, his love for Vivienne, the ghosts who crumble into oblivion, and the eternal loneliness of a being who outlives everything he cares for.

With dark humour, aching tenderness, and the surreal chaos of souls who refuse to go quietly, this tale explores what it means to die… and what it means to live forever.
