Listening to his favorite Coldplay album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends song 42 was playing when in barged a grim reaper with a ghost. He was spooked for a moment only startled.
He'd seen them before the Reaper was his assistant the ghost was there for judgement he was the judge of the dead.
The ghost was spooked hearing such a dark song in the place he thought they were trying to scare him it worked if it he was trying to scare him he thought.
"I'm not trying to scare you," Blake said reading his mind "I was just relaxing."
"Why did you put out the candles," asked his assistant.
To the horror of the ghost all the candles in the room blazed on in a blinding flash when the ghost could see again he saw Blake he was a grim reaper more terrifying than his assistant.
"I'll deal with you now," Blake said.
