If I Had a Million
Lee Stringer
Gil Abrams is a religious man, and not getting any younger. But after watching his wife die, and lines in his face getting deeper, he decides that maybe heaven can wait. Especially when he finds out about the new de-aging treatment on the market. The only problem is the cost. Being a retired janitor, his life savings don't quite cover the million yuan. The only option is to become a coyote, smuggling American immigrants by sea into Newfoundland from the civil war that rages below the border. It takes a lot of guts, determination, planning, and a risk-taking nature, none of which Gil has. In this dark satire podcast of the near future that the New York Times called absolutely nothing because they never heard of it, and wouldn’t care if they did, one man will decide if living far into the future is worth possibly giving up the present.

Gil has a lot on his plate. Emojoe, the A.I manager from Everythingstore dangles a "friendly" fleeting offer too good (or horrible depending on how you look at it) to ignore. Meanwhile, his car is losing its marbles, and he's promised Park a v-cast interview. With the Emojoe offer, the house, the v-cast, and the new Gimmee account Park set up, Gil might actually once again be a handsome young man. Well, not so much the handsome part.

Reverend Tom has a big favour to ask of Gil. One that carries the potential for great reward —some might even say salvation, depending on how you look at it. But with every reward comes risk, one that may not be worth the chance unless a hard case like Melvin gets wind of it.

Gil receives an exciting and strange phone call while scrubbing a toilet at the high school. If it's real, it changes everything and convinces him that God must have a hand in it. Later, he strikes a deal with Park, and with his new friends, he once again finds himself traversing the strange world of Yi in the ancient Song Dynasty. It's so beautiful that even dragon genitalia can't ruin it.

Gil has a few people at his house for the first time since Amy died. It is a bunch of his grandson's friends, but company is company. Anything is better than the silence and boredom. But it's not until he hops into the virtual world of Yi with them that he realizes what he has been missing all these years. "Video games" have come a long way. Bang!

Much to Melvin's disappointment, Gil decides he is going to take the leap and sell his home. Only then will he have enough money to buy the one thing that money could never buy in the past. Talent? No. Wisdom? Nope. A cure for cancer? Okay maybe there's a lot of things money can't buy. In this case it's youth. Gil is going to buy his youth back. Actually, he won't have quite enough money, but that's not going to stop him.

Because of boredom and loneliness, Gil decides to return to his old job as a janitor at the local high school and even try out a new one as a part-time greeter at EverythingStore. It's there that he runs into a real estate agent who assures him that, due to the recent influx of American immigrants, Gil's ocean-view land is worth a lot more money than he realized. Maybe a few extra dollars wouldn't go astray, especially with the recent rumours of a new "de-aging treatment" on the market.

It's been a little over six months since Amy died, and elderly Gil Abrams is trying to adjust to life alone. Not that he's completely alone. "The Cat" and his dog, Dan, are there to keep him company, but they're not exactly spring chickens either. Only for his faith, life might seem meaningless. And only for McDonald's he may not eat another warm meal.
