Conversation with the Gatekeeper by Tom Horonzy
Last Call writing prompt entry


 
Me, awakening at the pearly gates. 
 
"What happened?"

"You hit a tree doing eighty."

"You mean ... I'm dead?"

"Aye."

"Who are you?"

"St. Peter. Gatekeeper."

'Does my missus know?"

"Don't think so."

"She's a worrier.'

'Give her a call. You get one."

"Only one?"

"Yep."

"Won't be her? She'll cause a scene."
 
"Is It free?"

"Nay."

"Have you change?"

"Nope."

'Can I call collect?'

'Sure. Why not?'

Dial tone precedes two rings. Sultry voice answers.

"Nancy's House of Joy."

"Cancel our appointment, please?"

"There'll be a charge."

"That's okay. Use my credit card."

I bid adieu and disconnect, smiling.

There'll may not be legit, but it's needed for the word count to be correct. I would have added (sic) but again for the word count.
The on-screen word counter has 100.
