Oh, this reminds me of something -
I've started a new RP interest thread and I'd like to see whether or not people would like to be in it. It's in the USA, 2011. everything is normal and life is life. But then you die. No matter the reason, as long as you didn't willingly cause it. A voice calls out to you while you are submerged in darkness. It gives you a chance to live again.
You accept.
You are now his employee, and you must work to stay alive. You're living on borrowed time, "Life Energy", and the only want to get more is to get the bonuses from your boss after completing contracts. What do you do in these contracts?
You kill people.
Very specific people. There are rules to it, so if you disobey them you won't get your "Life Energy". When you live as a human, you lose "Life Energy". When you digest food and what follows it you use "Life Energy". When you bleed you use "Life Energy". So you need to remember to conserve your strength and follow the rules, or else you will die permanently!

I'm so sorry.
