The prisoner begs God to let him live a bit more; 2) The Birth and Death of an Artist at the End of the World by Justin Ambrosino – A man who is an artist is also just a man.

As her husband devotes himself to her for all eternity with a present, a coffin that they can share buried together spooning forever, she makes a fatal decision; 5) Sitting Across from God – Part 2 by David Occhino – A woman, who is mourning her Uncle’s passing due to cancer, is visited by God. She begs to have one more chance to talk to her loved one who passed away.
