To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what the most dangerous thing would be. I wish the reason was because I have lived an uneventful life, but, alas, it is not. I've helped gods, killed madmen, and vanquished Auditors, all while doing my part to ... well, save the Disc. Not that I had a choice in any of that, but a spare Death has to make herself useful somehow. It wasn't as though I could sit back and just let the uncontrolled madness continue when there was something I could do to help. Well, I suppose I could have, but it isn't in my nature to be a spectator. If chaos and silliness insist on persevering, I'll be there, ready to smack some sense into it with a poker or the handle of the scythe.
Alright, so maybe I do get a bit of a thrill out of the extraordinary. It isn't even as though I risked my life, because I knew I wasn't going to die. At least, once I thought to look at my lifetimer, I knew I wouldn't die. There is still a good deal of sand in it, and it will likely stay that way, as I've recently discovered.
My lifetimer has become stagnant.
Some thought or other made me check on it a few days ago and the sand has ceased to fall. It appears that, although I'm still living in normal time, time isn't passing for me, and I'm pretty sure I know why that is. I am not going to complain, though; the cause of my sudden and unnatural immortality is also the reason I desire to stay that way.
