THE SCHEME
by Zeke Krahlin

Besides sending my "Vested Interest" letter to Larkin, I mailed a signed copy to my brother and requested that he append it to my last will and testament. But here the plot thickens as I realize what my next step should be:

I now have many good friends, mostly on the streets, with whom I will share this letter, and make them aware of how Medi-Cal has destroyed any chance of receiving affordable health care (which on my low income should be $0.00). They will then spread my words via their own extended street family...after which time several will approach Larkin outside of Twin Peaks Tavern, and say something like:

"We are aware of Zeke's difficult situation, your relationship with him, and your continued harassment towards him. It is time to be a good friend to him, keep him in good health, and end your wrongful gossip. We will be watching."

Also:

"Larkin, you have to invite Zeke into the same bars you frequent, after making it clear to customers and workers alike, that Zeke has never stalked you."

At intervals--say, twice per week--they'll come up to Larkin and ask:

"Have you seen Zeke today?" And if he says no, they'll persist: "Why not?"

If he doesn't do what I requested in my letter, my street buddies will shame him in public and hang around him outside of Twin Peaks or any other bar, when he steps out for his smoke.

That was just one example of how they can embarrass and annoy him w/o crossing into the illegal. I'm sure they'll come up with various and effective /other/ schemes all on their own. If Larkin never complies (though I'm sure he will) he'll wind up being ridiculed out of my neighborhood, where he also resides. He is well connected with rich gay bar owners, patrons and the like...so I'm sure he has access to funding my medical needs.

And goddess forbid I should ever suffer major, debilitating illness, injury, or death! Can you imagine the wrath that shall befall My Wonderful Warlock?

THE END (of this note and hopefully, not me)
