Charon Takes a Break

“Boss, can I get a vacation? I have been taking souls down the river Styx for millennia now, and I need a break,” Charon the Grim Reaper asks Satan.

“Just one day. I will ask in-processing clerk Lucy Furr to fill in while you are out, as she is your backup. You need to train her first.”

“I don’t need training, I can run circles around you!” Lucy Furr demeans the tired old Charon. The harbinger of the dead goes on vacation and Lucy takes a trip to Albion, Indiana.

The notoriously crooked couple “Scary” Barry and Terry Reynolds are having their daily, bitter argument.

“You did not unload the dishwasher!”

“Terry, you did not ask me.”

“Just anticipate it!”

“I cleared the table and wiped it down.”

“That does not even count!” Terry screams at her husband who begins to feel the onset of a heart-attack. In the midst of their creepy fight, a shadowy figure looms behind.
