My Narrative Story about a death angel

My narrative starts with my main character , a death angel, walking around a city with his suitcase. The leaves on the ground show that it is fall (I think fall is a sad season with fallen leaves)
Then he stops at a window and looks inside. There are people dining in this huge hall around a long table, which is supposed to be a happy scene. But, the death angel finds that everyone is depressed and their unhappiness forms a lot of purple bubbles with skulls and numbers on them.
He thinks this is weird because it is his job to determine when to end a person's life. So, he uses his power and his death pet (a cat-shaped devil) to read those bubbles.
In the first bubble he sees that because the economy is bad, a man loses his job. So, he goes home and has a conversation with his wife, after which she chooses to leave him. He is desperate with the loss of money and love, so he shoots himself.
In the second bubble, still because if the of the economy issue, a woman loses all her money in stocks. ( So i drew a skinny piggy bank to show she has no money now) She is walking on the street, thinking about how wonderful her life used to be, when there were clothes, wine, vip cards and lots of money (fat piggy banks). She senses no hope of life, so she commits a suicide by jumping off a building.
So the death angel sees blood. His world turned into a bleeding inferno. He smiled, because now, his work is done.
For the front page, I drew a shadow of the death angel on a wall, his shadow has a skull face and a skull heart. And the back page, there is a skull on his suitcase. Both of them show the identity o the main character.
The reason I choose this style is because I want to use the cute harmless look of the death angel to show that this economy social issue causes more fear than death. And that death pet adds cuteness to the whole taking people's lives' mission. And, those eyes are always something I wanted to try, because it gives out a sad feeling while maintaining to be simple circles.

I'll upload pictures later=)
