"mobster"
~~
I think the plot of this story is very interesting. It
revolves around a merchant who entrusts his friend to hold his iron supply
while he is gone. The iron is a backup in case his journey does not go as
planned. When the merchant returns, he is expecting his iron, but the friend
has sold it already. After a few lies, the merchant is now in control of the
situation because he has taken the son of his friend in exchange for his iron.
I thought I could turn this story into some gangster type theme. I could have
two people that are in the same gang, a mob-like gang. One of them can ask his
friend to hold his money while he is gone, just in case he gets in prison or
something along the lines of not coming back. The money would replace the iron
in this story. While he is gone, the friend would spend the money on drugs or other
needless things. When the man returns to claim his money, the friend will say a
rival gang robbed him. In the original, the friend said rats ate the iron.
Maybe I can link the rival gang's name to rats. The man would snoop around
and eventually find out his friend is lying.
The friend would invite him over
for a drink. Just as in the original, he would kidnap his son before they meet.
He would say some witty remark about his son missing because superman came and
swooped him off his feet. After the friend’s snide comment about not taking him
seriously, the man would make another witty comment about restoring his son
when he sees his money. I thought this plot links very well to a gangster theme.
There are plenty other aspects of the story I will convey in the actual
writing.
