Fiction[]

SUPPLY AND DEMAND[]

As a traveling salesman, Bob is always on the go. But yesterday, he saw something that made him decide to stay in Arkham and miss his train. While he was in the General Store selling his wares, a robed man came in and bought several items, paying with old gold coins. Astounded, Bob turned to the shopkeeper for an explanation, but the man just ignored his questions, simply saying, "That happens, sometimes."

Now, Bob isn't leaving until he figures out where those gold coins came from. If he plays his cards right, maybe this will be the big score. Maybe he'll finally be able to retire and buy that boat he's had his eye on and spend the rest of his days fishing in a tropical paradise. Then again, maybe Bob will finally come to see that all that glitters is not gold.[1]

Someday, Bob Jenkins plans to cash in big. He may not be the biggest expert on forgotten cultures and secret societies, but he does know that rare books and antique weaponry can be sold for top dollar. More than once, he's discovered that an occult organization has been funded by gold coins of unknown origin, and Bob likes gold coins. He freely admits that he does not investigate arcane mysteries for noble reasons, but not many people are willing to face the horrors of the unknown. Nobility costs extra.[2][3]

Bob Jenkins (short story)[]

Sometimes Davy Schoffner, the owner of the General Store, asks Bob to help him delivering goods to nearby towns, such as Kingsport.[4]
