“YOUR MOVEMENTS ARE IRREGULAR (BUT MY GRAVITY IS CONSTANT)” BY KELENE (LEMNICIATE)

Plot: Bradley James doesn’t ask for much, he just wants to be the next Brad Pitt, win an Oscar or two and maybe have Angelina hang off his arm. But that all pretty much goes out of the window when he drives head first into a van and is taken home by a bunch of people calling themselves the Grim Reapers. His new life is hard to adjust to, but with the help of his fellow undead, he reckons he can make the best of it. This is a story of post-it abuse, finding oneself and Colin: three of Bradley’s favourite things.
