Walter Schuler Is Dead, and Nobody Cares

By: Jim Yoakum

Narrated by: Josh Horowitz

Walter Schuler was undeniably dead, and there was no getting around that fact. But what led to his demise? Was there a goose involved in some way? Can a man truly be considered dead if no one in a position of authority is there to confirm it?

Walter Schuler was gone, but did anyone actually care? As he rests in the deep freezer of his mansion, alongside a dead deer head that seems to have its own grievances with him, these are the kinds of questions he finds himself pondering. Fortunately, he has all the time in the world to seek answers, as he's in Purgatory, a place where not much ever happens. Chief Bishop, Reverend Blessume, Howard, and Martha are also stuck in a sort of purgatory, as they are waiting for Doc Burgess, the only one able of officially declaring Walter's death and releasing them from this state. However, they've been waiting all day, and it looks like he might not show.

Interesting story, well written. I was confused here and there, but that may just be due to multitasking while listening. I may give this one another listen to catch anything I missed. Narrator did a good job

hilarious

A very unusual and very funny story . Josh Horowitz did a great job with the narration. I will look for more by him and by Jim Yoakum.
