Migration

The large scale of migration is unexpected, especially the ageing population.

Several houses have been sold, and others up for sale, at attractive prices. It is a property dealer’s paradise, and a huge gamble at the same time. My risks are covered though.

I insist that the life insurance policies they hold be charged to me, along with the house. They look forward to spend the remaining years of their life in peace, in a place away from here – away from the insane riots tearing the city apart.

I know what awaits them at the other end. I’ll be rich.

  1. While my elder years are approaching more quickly than I want, I hope I never get to the point that I could be taken advantage of like that. I hear lots of stories on the news of how older people are swindled out of their life savings. Too trusting I guess.
