    The ending was just another surprise. A really heart touching working relationship of boss and subordinate described in vivid detail. Thank you for sharing

    I think the key to the story is the artistry of Bambi Kramer’s cards.

    The abrupt ending is the same as several other Maugham stories. It makes me wonder if he just was at a loss for how to wrap up the story.

      I think it's the AI voicing that ends so abruptly that makes it seem like to story also ends abruptly. It's rather unsatisfying.

    So what is the reason he killed himself after his boss begged him not to let anything happen to the natives as a result of the shooting- and the Mac makes things worse by eliminating their protector- himself.

      ​@@angelah7375A writer considered great by many. I know artistic preferences are personal, so you need not like all great writers (I don't care for Scott Fitzgerald, for example) but you didn't "waste" your time. You discovered you don't care for this author. You show selfishness in that this UA-cam creator worked on behalf of all of us.

    Wow there’s a hefty amount of unsuspected happenings in this story, didn’t quite expected the story to end like it did, but also it wasn’t that surprising after all.
