Sometimes you strike a deal with someone you shouldn't have.
Just before the classics clash of Baltimore and Orel-Kursk on day 68 and 74, a sandal-wearing bearded youth came by our offices claiming to represent a higher authority.
– An entity within the OCM? I enquired,
– Well an entity of sorts, but whether OCM he couldnt tell.
He said he had a proposition which would make it possible for me to fulfill my inner potential and win everlasting enlightment.
I know I should have turned him away, cause gamefixing is offcourse illegal. But going into the fall classics i felt tempted. A little less than a season ago I had made the common mistake of forgetting the team and focusing singurlarly on two captains to get me 1. div. status, but as we all know such strategies rarely do more than scare off sponsors; an in a few weeks the team would hit rock bottom on points.
– My only salvation, I told him, were the two 4. div. Classics coming up.
He seemed generally worried and the young man told me that surely my salvation was important to him and if this was really what I needed, he was sure it would be a simple matter.
He seemed less encouraged after I took him to see the guys working out in the basement – I made a bargain after the local womens fitness center went bankrupt, securing a total setup of spinning cycles for everyone; bloody ingenious. I can just walk around monitoring them while enjoying my ginseng green tee at the same time – And he said that what I was asking for was a miracle. Then he laughed and said "but I guess that is what we specialize in."
- All I need is for You to sign over Your soles. I pondered his strange request only shortly. A sweet deal, these guys don't even need their shoes, they are cyclists! and I forced everyones signatures.
Afterwards i wonder and warn everyone for this scam-artist.
Yes, there was some shaking of the firmament. The natural order of things might have been upset and blada-blada, all as he promised. But a measley 2. spot in Russia! Who will ever remember that?
An illusionist. All show and no results, I tell you: I went out and burned all the shoes and soles I could find.
I contacted the OCM to have the imposter exposed, but to no avail. I couldnt quite remember the guy's name, but none of the hispanic names sounded just right and the OCM claimed that there were no Aramaens employed within the organisation – can this be true – but did he leave a calling card or a signature of somekind?
Well he did draw a fish in a sweat stain in the spinning room, and that is all he left. Sweatfish and secondary positions.
Off course I didn't loose anything important either.
