Grim Secrets AI short: Death's paperwork problem

Five Days

Episode 1 carries that title, and it is the whole clock. The reaper, Victoria, turns up for a pickup. The file says Friday. If he dies early, she faces hundreds of pages of forms by hand, so she does the sensible thing and starts keeping him alive.

He has no idea. All he knows is that the most striking woman he has met is suddenly standing between him and every bad decision. It runs a hair under two minutes.

Side effects of a long week

Side Effects is the second episode, and it is where the arrangement starts feeling like company. Hands On, The Error and the finale, 9:14, take the joke somewhere warmer and then somewhere sharper.

The Secrets tags are Supernatural and Comedy, with the Grim Reaper and Deadline pinned on top. It is funnier than its subject has any right to be.

Heat as weather

Mild early, hotter late. The first two episodes sit at 1 flame, the next two at 4, and the finale at 5. All adults, and it stays on the right side of what we describe.

Free and locked

Five episodes, two of them free: a plain tap for the first, a sign-in for the second. The other three are 500 Moments each, 1,500 to finish, with Premium or Ultimate needed. Treat the figures as a snapshot; payment shows the real ones. Our free episodes page shows where to start without paying.

Who it suits

People who want a romance with a comic engine and a countdown. Short version: the afterlife has a form for this.
