Some guy accosted the hero of the story, offering to buy his excess time. Starting with a few dollars for one day of life, he quickly reached five hundred in these crazy trades. Not knowing how to get rid of the madman, the young man signed the contract - and unexpectedly became the owner of a monstrous amount by his standards. And only then did it dawn on him that he had exactly one hundred days to live: that’s exactly how long the generous buyer left at the seller’s disposal... This is a story about a man who realized too late what an incredible swindler he had fallen into.
