My job was to gain money by deceiving the others. Literally speaking all I ever wanted in my life was absolute wealth. My only friends, if one could call them such, were some other businessmen who did exactly the same job. My life moved around my professional projects aiming to one target; how to deceive other people in order to snatch both their money and property. Having almost no respect for other people's life, I lived alone in my extended mansion outside New York surrounded by armed guards. But one day I received an unexpected visit from a strange guy. He told me the unthinkable, that he was my angel named also John, and that he had been following me since my birthday! The most important thing, though, was that the angel informed me that I was going to die exactly on Christmas Day.Of course I didn't believe a word. I concluded that all these was just a game of my tired mind because I always worked a lot during Christmas days. But the strange guy didn't seem disappointed by my derision and indifference. O the contrary. The angel didn't give up at all his cause to persuade me about his existence and he tried even more to help me. And then unexpectedly I met a person from my remote past. She was the only real love I ever had in my capricious life; a beautiful Greek named Danae. Then my life changed forever.---------------------------------------------------------Contact me at: thkamazon@yahoo.com-----------------------------------
