On The Floor
Marty was a penny stock trader back in the 80s. A breathtaking collection of liars and cheats, everyone doing blow. Stock exchange officials were bribed. Client accounts were bled. It was something to behold.
His supposedly statelier sales manager was all smiles but for the dead shark eyes. He would say, "If people want yellow ties, sell them goddamn yellow ties."
Once or twice a month, after market hours, Marty would go out and stick up random banks, his rickety scheme to salvage honour.
His profession was put early to the silicon sword. Mercifully, Marty never saw the party end.
