Life is Hellin Illinois

This story follows the trials and tribulations of a newly retired aerospace engineer trying to get settled into a small town in southern Illinois. Even the most mundane tasks, such as renting a post office box, or getting a library card, become major productions. He is stymied at every turn by bureaucrats, demigods, and incompetents, hell bent on frustrating his every move.

His history, as well as that of the town, unfolds, as events send him on a collision course with another of the townsfolk. Was his decision to become a Helliner the right one, or will it be a decision he'll regret for the rest of his life.
