Re: Text Adventure Death Game
"Eurgh. I can't believe you just pulled the old 'last-of-my-kind-time-to-off-myself' chestnut."

Guy whimpered a bit as I affixed him with my best condescending glare. I sighed, tossing his manuscript and hopes and dreams aside.

"Really, I get pulp like this all the time from all manner of novices trying to be original, and please don't take this too personally, Mr Guy," I continued, pulling a revolver from my desk drawer, "but we are a respectable publishing house. In the interests of furthering literary enlightenment everywhere, I'm afraid I can't leave a tripe-spewing philistine like yourself alive."

I smiled a bit. "Any last words, sir? If you manage a single nugget of insight, we might get a sub-editor to posthumously edit you into our next critically acclaimed novel. Without crediting you, but that was a given."

"Uh- uh, I think you committed a cardinal sin of writing, yourself!"

"Oh?"

"Blatant self-insertion."

I reflected upon that for a moment, then nodded slowly and put the gun to my own temple.

"Well played, sir. Well played."
