SOLVED. Adult Short Story? Man wakes up in office hallway, called in by clerk, finds out he's dead. Made mistakes and wants to go back and fix them (including letting a friend assault a girlfriend). Read in early 2000's. Spoiler ahead. [s]

Possibly a short story? I read this early 2000's SPOILER: He feels guilty and wants to go back and fix things. He has been told that he has beene back numerous times, and he's been in the same office talking to the same clerk, and he keeps living the same life.

Did you read it in an anthology?

Hi George - this book was published later than the early 2000s but this sounds like 'Afterlife' in The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King

[George]

YES!!!!!!

Time has become compressed, but this is it!!!

I love this group!
