Writer's Block.
A Dark Comedy
by Andrew Rosdail
Ali (AKA Alvin) Miller is the world famous author of the ridiculously successful "Incredible Adventures of Don Juan Casanova" series of novels. Now, after a long dry spell, Alvin finds herself held prisoner by an unknown party in an unidentified location. She is told by her captor that she has an unspecified period of time to write her next novel. If she fails to meet that deadline, she will be shot. As time ticks by, the stress gets to her and her perceptions of reality and fantasy begin to blur.

"Look, I never claimed to be a great writer! Okay? I churn out some adventure stories and people like them! I found some success, okay, but I’m not a modern day Dickens..."- Ali "Alvin" Miller "Writer's Block."
