Dr. Adam Steele is a brilliant scientist/inventor who is down on his luck and about to give up, when chance drops an Angel into his lap. Not a literal angel, but the type that float through the corridors of business planting the seeds of hope in the heart of dreamers.
With her help, he turns the tides of fortune into a literal fortune, but the strings that come with the realization of his life's work, may shred his soul.
In time he knows that the price of his success, is simply what everyone else has already paid to use his invention.
A short story by the author of Stormhaven Rising and Prometheus and the Dragon.
