Summary
A Twilife Zone episode follows the lives of two people, one who lives an 'evil' life and one who seems to live a good, upstanding life.
Plot
Whit tells the story of two boys, Simon and Sonni. Sonni's life consists of a movement from one crime scene to another. He starts by stealing from a vending machine, then a supermarket, and before he knows it, he's taking bikes and cars. This leads to a life of holding up supermarkets and working in the mob. He dies in prison and ends up in hell. Next Whit tells the story of Simon whose life was very different. He goes to church, answers all of the Bible Bowl questions, was a diligent student, and was even elected to Congress on the ticket of "Honest Simon." He even runs for President! However, just a week before the election, Simon is killed in a car crash, and as Simon never really accepted Christ as his Savior, he ends up in hell alongside Sonni.

Discussion Questions
- Can you explain why Simon and Sonni both ended up going to the "wrong place" when they died?
- Why was Simon so surprised to find himself sitting next to Sonni at the end of the story?
- What was so "bad" about Simon's life?
