This story, and its characters was created by me, with help from Heather Hatfield and Courtney
Brown (thanx, guys, from "us"!). All characters within are products of my imagination, with the
exception of Keyser Soze (or however you spell it), who is a character in The Usual Suspects.
This is used for entertainment purposes only, and I'm receiving no profit from it (if I do, I'll remove
the name). Don't sue. I'd like to thank, also, at this time,
Karin Willison, for helping me
figure out how to turn a computer on, Rebekah Howell, my "editor", Grant Sarber, possibly the only
person out there who has understood my insanity, my father, for not having me commited when he
read it, and my brother, for not losing his lunch. (They read other versions of this story which were
too graphic to put on the internet.) Oh, and Stephen King, because I have been compared to him.
Those who read this now, I'd also like comments from you. Read: Please, if you want to reproduce
any of my story, or if you just want to print it up, please e-mail me at
mmanifol@indiana.edu. I don't care, but I would like to
know. Ciao.
Blood Money Not a tale for the faint of heart.
You have been warned.
Send me your thoughts. What you liked, what you didn't like, what confused you (since I know
the story so well, sometimes I forget that everyone else doesn't, and I need to explain some things to
the reader. I'm bad at remembering that), what you'd like explained or added, any suggestions as to
how to make it better, more understandable, etc., etc.. My e-mail address is at the top of the page,
and on my home page. I look forward to hearing from you all! Thanks for reading it! Ciao.
