While under the anaesthetic, old Bill started to recall friends and relatives who had passed away. There was no morbidity involved; in fact, as he recalled them, the room filled up with familiar faces, talking and laughing. He even got off the operating table to join them. It was wonderful, just like a party in the old days, except better somehow - more carefree. The only downside was that no matter where he looked, he couldn’t find any alcohol - but he was enjoying himself too much to give it much thought. Eventually, the truth dawned on him: Dead people don’t drink.

Ha. You had me going. Pretty sure what was happening until the punch line. That was the only punch in the story. Ha. Superb job.

Bet he kept on enjoying the party. On the plus side, there'd be no hangover.

No alcohol? It's probably not heaven, then. Comments are closed.
