The story
Struggling true crime writer Ellison Oswalt fails to replicate the success of his debut book, made famous for helping solve a crime.
In the attic, Ellison finds a box containing a scorpion, a projector, and film reels labeled as home movies.
He falls through the ceiling; emergency services are called, including a deputy who enthusiastically agrees to help Ellison, jokingly accepting the nickname "Deputy So-and-So".
