The Set-Up

The website of the greatest pulp fiction writer who ever lived







This is a sequel to Hack’s boxing novel “Jonny Knockout.” Like all boxing sequels, it has exactly the same story as the original with a slightly different ending.

Hack went to a strip club one night and passed out. when he awoke days later in the alley behind the club, this manuscript was lying next to him.

Hack wrote this third entry in the “Doctor Mercy: Female Mad Scientist” saga when he awoke from a dream which told him that Covid-19 comes from the butt. It turned out that he had suffered from such bad gas that night that the woman he was sleeping with had to be rushed to the hospital, where she eventually caught Covid-19. She said the the effects of the virus weren’t anywhere near as bad as living through a night of Hack’s monster farts.

Hack wrote this after seeing his friend Rosanna De Candia in the Zoom vlogcast “Why the Show Must Go On” from the Mental Health Association in New Jersey. Ms. De Candia was interviewed about using creativity to get through the isolation of the Coronavirus quarantine, and provided moving insight into the issues many people were struggling with. Hack’s byline is misleading because Ms. De Candia was obviously fully-clothed throughout but he was heavily drunk while watching and convinced himself that she was completely nude. He experiences the same phenomenon while watching old episodes of “Friends” on TBS, which is why he watches old episodes of “Friends” on TBS .
