Two Bizarre Short Shorts

In a Cemetery's Bottled Secret, one man after living a comfortable life, for most of his adult life, suddenly hits rock bottom. He immediately uncovers that what he learned while lavishing in the high life has no bearing in his new downtrodden way of life. So alone and miserable with no escape he resorts to the eighty percent proof bottle of distilled spirits. His new found friend, whom temporarily ameliorates his hopelessness and misery, uncovers vicariously that his addiction can actually be the gateway to his old life. In a Fiery Contract, the world of timed schedules and countless contracts many times resurrects in certain individuals the drive to undertake short cuts for a quick-fix payout. And in spite of the potential for risks, one individual has nothing to lose but everything to gain. So as he finds himself thousands in debt, he desperately signs a contract with his life as collateral.Ultimately, he risks ending up spending eternity in a vicious and infinite cycle of repetition.
