The Only Actual Life Insurance

By Dave Yakubik

As life insurance salesman Bronco Palmer sees it, he's the only one in his industry with enough guts to offer people what they truly crave: a contractual guarantee against death. It's a challenging promise to keep, but a lucrative one to make. And why delay when he's already got the sales and marketing acumen to cash in? Charlie Keith is a twenty-three-year-old freelance test subject and odd job man. He's also a former Catholic and a current nonbeliever. He'd be content to remain that way, too, if only he hadn't participated in an experiment that gave him a deeply unsettling glimpse of what the afterlife might be like. He emerges unwilling to risk damnation, but also clueless about how to avoid it; adopting a faith that could easily be wrong isn't a very appealing option, given the stakes. He needs time to figure things out. And since he could die unexpectedly at any moment, he needs a reliable way to stave off death. He needs Bronco's insurance. As for Bronco, he only needs to figure out how to live up to his word. And if he can't do that, he at least needs to fool the public into thinking he's living up to his word long enough to figure out how to disappear with his profits.THE ONLY ACTUAL LIFE INSURANCE is a satire about the risks, fears, and struggles people take on in trying to eliminate life's risks, fears, and struggles.
