The Ogre Life

With that thought in mind he tells a story he wishes to strip of the trappings and art of storytelling and relate the cold facts of its random absurdity in a series of non-linear events.

Erika brings WWFP Pro Jurg Betrug into the mix. Jurg a menacing gangster of the German criminal “milieu” has plans for all involved. But what about the corpse on the floor? Just what will Simon do with the body and with himself? Meanwhile time is tickingaway - and the corpse on the floor is beginning to stink!
