The Jig is Up...(See if you can find what that means)
My true identity will soon be discovered. I was minding my own business, having a wonderful time at the Chinese New Year celebration, when someone brought me to the attention of a newspaper reporter. Now they not only have the name I've been using, but a picture of me to go with it. I can only assume it will not be long before the FBI and Interpol (an international police organization) have my real identity, Charles Klugenhofstartski (try saying that 3 times fast), the famous bank robber of Iyfangotstand (a relatively small and unkown country) who disappeared after his last bank robbery ten years ago. English is the national language in Iyfangotstand, so it was easy to pass myself off as American. To make matters worse, they know my partner in crime is the infamous Edgar the Bald, a cockatiel bandit who was forced to flee the law in Australia. Now we both have to run again. As I write this, Edgar is busy packing. I will have to leave most of my possessions including my car, since they will be able to trace the license plate with the name I've been using. We will have to steal and hotwire a car, after which we will head for Mexico. If we can slip across the border we might be able to work our way down to South America. It was a wonderful party with a lot of delicious food. Little did I know it would be my goodbye party as well. If you have to blame someone, blame Hui Ling. It's all her fault for bringing me to the attention of the reporter. I hate long goodbyes, and Edgar is telling me we have to go (he's very scared because he doesn't want to be taken back to Australia), so I will just say, I love you all and will miss you very much. Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteThink about Taiwan ? I believe no body can recognize you, at least you have a good friend who can cover you and take care of you , there are so many delicious food in Taiwan ,and so many young, beautiful and rich women there.
The mind of the storyteller has great imaginative powers. You are a imaginative writer. if you are going to write a novel ,it must be popular than Harry Potter.

ReplyDeleteI do believe you ARE 29 years old, and I also believe that you will always be 29 years old!
Thank you, thank you, one and all. With all these compliments I might just get a swelled head.
