When Frank Richards gets a hot tip and sells a tech company’s stock
short, he’s sure he’ll make a killing-- until his broker calls. “You sold at
eighty-five and a half,” his broker said. “I bought shares back at a hundred
and ten.” Frank’s legs get rubbery. “That’s twenty-five dollars a share,” Frank
said. “Right, times ten-thousand shares. I need you to make arrangements for
payment. You’re way over your credit limit.” Frank is forced to get a loan from
Elliott Spangler, a shady boxing promoter. Frank offers his home, car, and
luxury boat as collateral, but they fall short on value. Spangler forces him to
sweeten the deal... with his beautiful wife, Gail. 10,000 words
