You grab a drink then head into your living room and over to your favourite spot. You sit down, and wait. As you get closer to your end it seems to take longer for each full minute to pass you by.

At around two minutes left you hear a loud screech outside caused by tires on asphalt. Probably another drunk driver as they are common in your neck of the woods.

As your time ticks down to zero the TV suddenly flicks itself on but displays nothing but a black screen. You watch it curiously and no more than a minute after it has turned itself on an image appears. The image is of a hooded black cloak with a featureless, white porcelain mask where someone's head would normally be. You can see nothing but black past the mask's eyes and swear that it is staring right at you.

"I've come to collect," a voice says, coming from the TV. You recognize it immediately as the one you struck a deal with an hour ago.

The phantom in the TV floats toward the screen and passes through it. As it enters your living room it seems to bring the darkness with it and everything around you fades from view until all you can see is yourself, and the phantom.

"I know. I've been expecting you," you say, tossing your empty drink to the ground. It vanishes silently when it hits where the floor should be.

"I wonder why you would waste your final minutes sitting and waiting for me to come collect you. Share with me your reasoning behind behind it," it responds, stopped within arms' reach of you.
