"Do Authors Cry When They Kill Their Best Character Or Do They Smile, Laugh And Have A Cup Of Tea With Satan?"
I read this a while ago and instantly decided on the latter but then I imagined the death of one of my character's grandfather and started tearing up which is weird since I'm always happy when writing a death scene. Now I want to know what you guys think.

The Blade of the Hand
The kind soul; the empathizer; even the lighthearted- bound to a thousand deaths by literature.
What’s left? The pain? The ruin? The cruel parts of the world? I continue writing, adding yet another knife to the mere words on the page. Who will be the next one to kiss the hands of Death?
Into the climax.
Will it be the jokester? The generous? Possibly the honest? Or maybe all three.
After: the brave. The faithful. The shy.
Personalities written away from the narrative.
And in the grande finale of it all, I kill off one last character with a stroke of a pen- my humanity.
