'Purgatory: Episode Two' was better than the first. I loved the humor. The way Mr. Crispy sees things and the reality of it are complete opposites. His version was hilarious. And the beautiful woman he saved? Well, let's just say Mark Tompkins has a vivid imagination. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Crispy's episodes while he resides in Purgatory. This short story was very creative. A must read.
