A strange Commission
I was prepared to shut my portable workstation late at night when the mail arrived. It said, "Critical Commission – Watchfulness Required." I opened it after delaying. I was acclimated to bizarre commissions as a independent craftsman, counting hyper-realistic natural product works of art, pictures of pooches wearing medieval protective layer, and indeed a client who needed his ex-girlfriend appeared as a mermaid. This one, in any case, was special.
I reacted, "Ten thousand dollars? Fair for a drawing? That was ridiculous," but my curiosity overcame me. Many minutes later, another email arrived, this time with an connection. We are seeking out for an craftsman with a sharp eye for detail and total privacy. Remuneration:
$10,000 forthright. The subject must be drawn precisely as portrayed, no alterations. Answer inside the hour on the off chance that interested.
It was an ancient grainy preview of a man situated in an expand chair in a dim suit. It appeared as in spite of the fact that time itself had endeavored to eradicate his confront. "Reproduce this representation, but make the man's confront clear," was the clear ask. No imaginative permit. I felt cold. The ask felt a small bizarre. Who was he? For what reason was his confront covered up? My fingers moved on their claim, however I ought to have said no.
