Murderer's chain

A desperate salesman narrates his frantic scramble for a fortune tied to the newly discovered planet Balsavius Six. He believes a modest investment could multiply his wealth, but his mother‑in‑law, a wealthy and stubborn matriarch, blocks the path. Their strained relationship and her control over the family’s finances push him toward a dark, calculated solution.

Obsessed with finding a “clean” method, he rejects blunt weapons and searches for a subtle poison that would go unnoticed. While wandering the eclectic streets of Greenwich Village, he stumbles into a bizarre jewelry shop run by a bearded merchant whose alien heritage hints at hidden resources. The shop’s uncanny wares and the proprietor’s mysterious aura suggest a possible shortcut to the lethal means he craves. As he weighs his options, the line between ambition and morality begins to blur, setting the stage for a tense, morally charged gamble.
