Now, whenever I would hear the phrase, "take him to the cleaners" I would imagine Khun Micky writhing on the floor bathed in industrial-strength bleach. What a morbid image!
But lately, the scent had turned sour, tinged with the metallic tang of fear- I like how you put this because when I was in fear or shocked, the taste of metallic actually increased in my mouth

Smashing story, Colin.
Poor Micky, I know you feel for him. At least he is clean, haha

I know what you mean
This one was particularly satisfying. The cleaning metaphor is a beauty. And here is another strong female character, which you do so well.
Thank you. I have to keep the wife happy!
