You may remember stories of lawyers and others dealing with the devil? In any case, here's the boiling hot pitch. Your debt is being called in, and your soul is in doubt, but... there is a skinny, slim chance that you could write a story or poem to save yourself! now write up the outer and inner stories--one being the unfortunate tale of how you ended up in this predicament and the pressure of writing this piece with pitchforks or other implements of hell behind you...the other being the story you spin to save your life! with thanks to DTs for suggesting it: > I could not write a poem > to save my life ;-) Some here would probably say I couldn't > write a story to save it, either :-D. tink
