Soldier of Fortune

There’s a word for the type of person who ignores a kidnapping in progress.

And that word is “asshole.”

I prided myself on not being an asshole.

Even as a career expat from whom such behavior is expected, even encouraged.

Even with my employer being a nonprofit named Hope Wells, the GOOP of NGOs. (I had a girlfriend. I know what GOOP is.)

Our product: an exercise-powered water pump. Flip its sustainable teak pedals and presto — the clearest, most crystalline water you’ve ever seen.
