About this ebook
A senior salesman tries to make one last sale at a soon-to-open bar in Bluefield, West Virginia. Before demonstrating his rapid-refrigeration device, he has a meandering, sexually allusive, past-recalling chat with the female bartender-to-be. When another male arrives, a tragic mistake occurs.
If this short story were expanded into an American movie, it would most likely be rated PG-13 (adult themes).
Approx. 2,000 words.
