    About this ebook

    Ellie receives a phone call from an old friend, Jennifer, who she hasn't heard from for many years. Jenn needs help. She needs money and has figured out a way for Ellie to get paid back for the loan of some cash. A few days, a couple of trips to the ATM with a bankcard, and Ellie will have her money back. Or will she?
    The Bankcard is a story of a good deed going wrong.

    Tor Cummings

    Tor Cummings lives in the Mojave Desert in a small (but growing too fast) town of Bullhead City. He writes erotic stories for the most part with some mysteries and horror thrown in for variety. When not writing, he cares for a bunch of cats, hikes, and reads—a lot! Born in Denver, Colorado in 1953, Tor has lived in Lausanne, Key West, Gravois Mills, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Black Rock City, with shorter stays at a number of other places. He has worked as a lobster fisherman, shrimp boat painter, accountant, assistant film editor, film sound editor, database designer, web site builder, and now he writes and self-publishes.

      The Bankcard

      Ellie walked along the sidewalk with her head lowered and eyes on the concrete. Pete’s too-large baseball cap, sunk low on her forehead with its bill tipped down, obscured her face from the other pedestrians. She wore his big sweatshirt hoodie, a really ugly pinkish-orange one that Pete used only around the house, never out in public. She didn’t wear its hood up but had tucked her blonde hair, gathered in a ponytail, under the jacket. Pete wasn’t real big, but his sweatshirt was bulky enough on her that it bunched up around her shoulders and the back of her neck—in the mirror she hadn’t been able to tell whether her hair was a short or long.
