Ahhh, we would all like to find our muse and you wrote about one that I would happily accept into my life. But wait, my wife would be very upset. Damn.
You always seem to write such good stories. I haven't been disappointed yet.

could have been great. This was perhaps a nine page story that was truncated to 4 pages. The denouement on page 3 played like the last 2 minutes of a TV crime drama where the villain, without the benefit of counsel, explains the full details of the crime so we can go to the closing shot with a satisfied "Ahhh...!"
I don't begrudge the author abandoning a story when it loses his interest or the exigencies of life intrude, but notice must be taken with a moment of mourning for the premature termination of what could have been a wonderful tale.
plenty of detail as to what happened and why and the scams going on.....
