restaurant is that a little house that’s across the street from it caught my eye

since the day I went over for the interview. It was a small wooden house

that adjoined with estates full of horses and cattle. The nearest neighbors

were far off and when the restaurant closed the little house was isolated.

There was someone living there but something told me that I’d live there

soon. When I told my boss and co-workers that soon that would be my

house they simply laughed.

After a few weeks I still hadn’t heard from any of those people I had

reached out to. Business at the Tamarindo was booming. I’d be a liar if I

said whole UFO thing didn’t bring me clientele. Mr. B started to harass me

again. The only things he talked about were my pictures and money. His

real intentions were so obvious that it was shameful. He completely lost

sight of everything. His desire for wealth had spoiled his mind. He insisted

in trying to orchestrate my life: how to talk, how to dress, who to talk to

and who to not. He was really starting to cross the line.

When he spoke to others he referred to me as ‘his case’. He thought that

my pictures, the negatives, and even I belonged to him. He really went to

far when he told me that he didn’t want to see me with homosexual people

because this would undermine my credibility.

According to Mr. B being homosexual makes one a liar. If this is so then

I’m the biggest liar in the world. He tried to forbid me so many things that

it would be absurd to name them here. Many times he spoke about my

credibility and how I should correctly present myself to people. If for

people to believe in my experience I’d have to become something I am not,

I prefer that no one believe a single word.
