The Ghosts of Tupelo Landing by Sheila Turnage
An actor dies and appears before St. Peter, who tells him that he will have to labour for the souls of others for 15 billion years in purgatory or go straight to hell. The actor asks if he can see heaven and hell before he makes his decision.
Down they go into hell. It turns out to be a steamy, dungeon-like kitchen in which actors toil away shouting food orders while cooks swear at them and threaten them with kitchen knives and a hulking maître de tells them to “Hurry hurry hurry!”
“No,” screams the actor, “that’s what my life was like! Show me heaven!”
Up they fly to heaven. It turns out to be a steamy, dungeon-like kitchen in which actors toil away shouting food orders while cooks swear at them and threaten them with kitchen knives and a hulking maître de tells them to “Hurry hurry hurry!”
“This is the same as hell,” the actor protests.
“Oh no. Not all,” St. Peter replies. “These actors have agents.”
Thank you. I always take note of the Publisher of a book similar to the genre and style I am considering writing, but have not focused in on the information contained within the ‘Acknowledgement Section’. I certainly will now.
It’s hard to find knowledgeable people on this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
