I've had a random idea for a story percolating in my head for a while now. It's kind of funny, and I don't really have a plot or anything, but...
The essential idea is this. The story, written from the first person, centers around this guy, who dies in a car accident. Upon reaching Heaven, he fills out an Evaluation Form on the nature of his life and subsequent death. Life wasn't so bad, but he's really annoyed at both the timing and nature of his death. The first big complaint he raises is that he wasn't driving the car. But, as it continues, he gets more and more annoyed at the process, and makes more and more complaints, ranging from reasonable to absolutely ridiculous (when the car swerved off the road, it hit the tree at such an angle that the coffee in the cupholder was thrown directly at his crotch). Finally, the staff get so fed up with the guy that they decide to let him go back. Of course, by this time, the guy has been appealing for several years, and has no interest in returning. As weird as it seemed to him at the time, his true heaven would be a place where he could argue with God to his heart's content.
I'm still a gamer at heart...I realized this guy must be a hardcore rules lawyer.
