Easy Money

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Sometimes making a little easy money turns out to be a bad idea! That's sure the case for the protagonist of this short noir tale which is also available in the collection Easy Money & Other Stories.

"I weave my way through the crowd, stroll up and bump into the guy hard from behind. I throw my elbow into the back of his arm so the big glass mug he's holding swings up. His beer slops all over his shirt. He spins and gets in my face. I hit him once, hard as I can, with a right uppercut to the chin. It don’t even phase him. My knuckles and wrist feel like I just punched a cinder block, but he don't look hurt at all, just mad."
