Project Synopsis
Twenty-five-year-old Grimm has spent years idolizing the Grim Reaper. When he finally earns an interview to become one, he arrives in full costume and immediately irritates his dry, no-nonsense evaluator, Morg. Tasked with collecting a single soul in a public park, Grimm bungles one attempt after another. Then he meets Margaret, a grieving widow contemplating ending her life. Their conversation prompts her to reconsider ending her life, leaving Grimm convinced he has failed once more. But Morg reveals that Grimm has demonstrated the profession's most important quality: compassion.

Character 3
Margaret

Description
A grieving widow sitting alone in the park. She is direct, vulnerable and quietly affectionate when speaking about her late husband, Howard. Her scene turns the story from absurd comedy toward genuine human connection.
Character 4
