His introduction is a roundabout in continuous turning this criminal sees me as one whose deep thinking is lost crazy assurances of converting a piece of grass to a garden obese rewards only can be reached through a hidden maze half evidences and my appetite slips through dark paths it’s obvious, the trail of a scammer’s conversation stays sinuous money, war, death, power, assistance: information in constant twisting without harbouring greed, one cannot be trapped wisdom cracks crookedness to put an end to this unwarranted puzzle he’s gutted; not giving my account details was the wall.

Interesting and deep. Deception is almost always a maze of tricks and turns and lies. Good luck in the contest, Funom. :D

Funom, this was a very creative direction to go with this set of intriguing words - the words of a con artist, a politician maybe? Most interesting write, full of depth. Congrats on your win, my friend ~ John
