The Uncle’s Trick

The Uncle’s Trick is a short story of mounting tension, where appearances deceive and danger lurks where it’s least expected.

A young man attempts the classic confidence trick on a lonely old man, hoping for a quick, clean scam with no consequences. But in that house, the past weighs heavier than it seems — and not all the players are playing the same game.

Told in a sharp, direct, no-nonsense style, this story takes the reader through the dark underworld of family scams and inherited deceit. As the tale progresses, the atmosphere grows more oppressive, building toward an ending that’s as unexpected as it is disturbing.
