CGiii Comment

What would you do...if you were told that you had 2 months to live, got dumped and lost your job...all in the same day?

Interesting premise - lots of possibilities.

It starts off well - Burrows does rise to the occasion...and then, it falls apart.

The last 15 minutes are a ridiculous demonstration of a writer running out of inspiration - taking the easy way out.
