Following a tragic bacon-frying mishap, our hero finds himself in the afterlife.
Where am I?
This is Writer's Heaven, Charles. All great writers come here when they die. You can enter as soon as I finish your background check.
Sweet! I wonder if Harlan Ellison's here yet.
Hmm...Charles, can you tell me how much you made on that piece for Buttime Stories?
Sadly, his good works haven't erased the stain of a checkered past.
Twenty bucks and a dozen contributor's copies. Why?
No reason. I hope you enjoy Writer's Hell.
