What if you could?
Ladies and Gentlemen, from the Bank of Eternity, I give you... Afterlife Dollars.
Spawned as an idea from a city trader, who was trying to get back the considerable amount of money that he had lost of a gangsters. Using Chinese fables and old stories of leaving money for the ferryman to take you to the other side.
Afterlife Dollars came into being. A load of unethical shit, and lie after lie a backstory evolved.
What was being sold? Nothing, a belief. Did it not matter? No. People thought they were investing in money that was going to be available to them when they died. They knew that they would not see anything till they were dead. The perfect fleece.
Then came Europe, a trader who had, had enough. Warnings made and ignored and a folio being built that would be more than profitable when the crash eventually came. With far right politics thrown in for good measure.
From something I thought that I wasn't going to enjoy to being engrossed within half an hour. Not my usual thing, but good just the same.
