A young author suffering from writer's block sets out to sabotage his best friend, a successful but egotistical fellow wordsmith.

An author suffering writer's block has to face his own demons when his best friend shows up with a completed manuscript, a publishing deal, and the publisher's daughter in tow. In his frustration, he proceeds to pound out a story in which he kills the best friend. Metaphorically, as he gains confidence, he does destroy the friend's egotistical confidence.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
