Hell of a Deal: a Supernatural Satire Joe Giambrone

Al Smith built a Hollywood movie empire, but Al?s also reached the end of his lifespan. Fortunately, Al is visited by one very eager pharmaceutical salesman, a young man peddling a ?Fountain of Youth? nano-tech drug. In exchange for this experimental medicine, Al agrees to the pharmaceutical salesman?s movie deal. Smith awakens with his clock reset, transformed into a young man once again. Only, in this younger form he doesn?t actually exist. Smith becomes completely reliant on the pharmaceutical salesman ? now a movie director ? to secure his identity as his own son. Glitches in the youth treatment terrify Al, and he cannot be certain if brain damage has set in, or if he?s now entered the realm of the supernatural. Unfortunately for Al, and for the rest of us, it?s the latter.
