Someday, maybe I will have her swag.

RIP Don, err Chet

Int. Hospital. Chet's deathbed.

Doctor: 8:42 is his time of death, for the certificate, occupation?

Nurse: Narrative designer

Chet
(rising from the dead)
I'm a f'ing writer, not a narrative designer

Nurse: Whatever
(places hands over chet's mouth slowly suffocating him)

Chet wants you to know that he is a writer and not a narrative designer.
