FUNNY!

I can use it in Issue 11, due out mid-late September.

The Client
I was on notice. With the economy sinking, stock market tanking, I was supposed to bring in five new clients or find employment elsewhere. I boarded the train and ran through my appointments. Everyone I knew was either broke or asking me for job leads. Investment counseling is not the money maker everyone thinks it is.

A large winged cockroach climbed up beside me. If it wasn't for the fact he was dressed in overalls and a tee shirt, I would have squashed him right there. It flung its tiny lunchbox next to mine.

"Hello," I said, putting aside my aversion for creepy-crawlies.
Opportunity knocked at strange doors and I needed to open this one.

"Hello," it replied in a voice louder than I had expected.

"Hard day?" Establish rapport – lesson one to creating a new client.
