Once Pawn a Time

Once pawn a time... About four plus weeks after frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters white knight still mourns swindled money Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator (assistant to Philadelphia attorney general) unable to recoup forfeited funds. While holed up in castle keep, (albeit fetchodit fuming father cursing out blimey scamming creep), I replay nightmarish scenario that disallows me to sleep inconsolable tears yours truly doth weep. Though secular humanist, nevertheless yours truly (me) beseeches a higher power something in the order of voltages ranging from 115,000 to 230,000 VAC Voltage Alternating Current or Extra-High voltages ranging from 345,000 to 765,000 VAC. Courtesy malefactor left me bereft cyber criminal shrewdly, meticulously, hucksterish antagonistic online criminal with deft once again revisiting series of theft designed warp and weft traitor to the cause of honesty wove webbed, whirled wide net pounced (visualize yourself analogous recipient of lionize) de León. I implicate myself aside from bogeyman being submissive at financial havoc fake Macbook Pro wizard posturing as legitimate Apple computer technician did wreak more than laptop malfunction, he did tweak. Any number of "red flags" clear as day in retrospect stand out like a sore thumb with self reproach and attendant emasculation "how could I be so dumb," not ready to concede desperation to scrounge around for every little monetary crumb when "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)." Resultant severe emotional grip courtesy financial fallout fantasy thought arise regarding being cursed with purchasing winning Mega-million and powerball ticket, hence the following fantasy. Lucky lottery winner …and the super powerball and mega millions jackpot winner is… from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. No way. This must be some off-season April fool and/or Halloween trick or treat. Yea right. In my dreams. A voice inside urges “take another look.” Yet upon frenziedly staring (for what seems like an eternity) at the matching numbers (per tickets for both record breaking sweepstakes) no denying that every numeral exactly the same as those randomly drawn. I don’t know whether to cry or scream. But, if held at pen point and forced to splutter out how such winnings would be managed (from mine mouth to God's ears) such fantasy will be elaborated within literary exercise (just for the purposes of this writing contest), I now let finger flit to and fro, hither and yon across qwerty keyboard. Though a pauper, no ambition could goad me to live like a king. The immediate step would be to seek professional top-notch guidance from a sterling gold reputable investment banker. He or she to be a staunch advocate of wise management sans such substantial windfall. Consent to be given for a chunk to be divested into high yield money market funds with a modicum of risk. Other dollops off currency denouement elected to be doled into on demand personal funding accounts. A suitable proportion thence hedged toward monies for thee spouse and two darling daughters. Said wife would be awarded ample chunk to meet her present and future financial needs and/or wants. Since she tends to be tempted to spend any cash on her purse (son) plus pose (on bended knee) plaintive pleas for this husband to drain his meager resources, a ceiling limit incorporated within said deposited arrangement. Each progeny (both charming young women) established with academic, catastrophic, exotic… healthy portfolios. Upon reaching age of twenty-one release of full access to aforementioned bonds, dormant fiduciary interest bearing, known, noteworthy Yankee Doodle dandy legal tender. Even though total claim to do as they wish with apportioned denominational millions. A caveat will include disallowing banal, flagrantly haphazardly spent (even though exercising a spending spree not illegal), the contractual obligation affixing each offspring will witness the forfeiture from fathers’ instantaneous famed fortune. Self imposed restrictions viz electronic mechanisms (probably at least one computer software application (probably dashed off by kindergartner during recess) will bar this fanciful papa to blithely act frivolously, yet a predetermined monthly allotment made accessible. No spending spree will occur sans yours truly until bulwark of allocation, dedication, gratification… securely settled analogous to digital electronic gatekeepers, which strategy (affording truckload of dollars to appease capitalistic cravings) still replete with common cents paid out to select charities and non-profit organizations. These agencies to focus on animal welfare of genus and species besides *****sapiens, eco-friendly. Environmental utilities, educationally non-discriminatory colleges/universities, and other copasetic, democratic, ecologic, holistic, non-partisan opportunistic politically welcome think tanks.
