If I Had a Million

著者: Lee Stringer
  • サマリー

  • Gil Abrams is a religious man, and not getting any younger. But after watching his wife die, and lines in his face getting deeper, he decides that maybe heaven can wait. Especially when he finds out about the new de-aging treatment on the market. The only problem is the cost. Being a retired janitor, his life savings don't quite cover the million yuan. The only option is to become a coyote, smuggling American immigrants by sea into Newfoundland from the civil war that rages below the border. It takes a lot of guts, determination, planning, and a risk-taking nature, none of which Gil has. In this dark satire podcast of the near future that the New York Times called absolutely nothing because they never heard of it, and wouldn’t care if they did, one man will decide if living far into the future is worth possibly giving up the present.

    In order to cure his boredom and loneliness Gil decides to go back to his old job as janitor at the local high school, and even try out a new one as greeter at EverythingStore. This is where he runs into a real-estate agent who assures him that, due to the recent influx of American immigrants, Gil's ocean-view land is worth a lot more money than he realized. Maybe a few extra dollars wouldn't go astray, especially with the recent rumours of a new "de-aging treatment" on the market.

"The Cat" and his dog, Dan, are there to keep him company, but they're not exactly spring chickens either. Only for his faith, life might seem meaningless.
