Emotional manipulation story, by Distance aka Expansion.
Characters: SEI and myself.
Story line: Backdrop, I'm moving into shoes of being a landlord in having 2 tenant spaces as an inheritance, and having no life at all now, but being occupied by organizing and remodeling it for occupancy.
The place needs a range, wife found one on market place, and we traveled far and got a nice one as used.
The plan for the day was me meeting a store owner who owns a large gun business, at his business to sell my late dad's firearms to him. I have to be there before closing at 5 on the weekend.
It is 3 on the clock, on our way back to drop the range off, riding in my '18 F-150 and to get a Subway.
We get sandwiches and my wife notices a homeless person sitting at an adjacent lot at an abandoned business, sitting in front of that glass window, wearing a back pack. Looks the part easily.
She stops me on driving out and insists on buying him a sandwich, and i said we don't have time for it. ''Oh, i see how you are, everything is about you, and no else gets in your way, you come first. It is all about you and you'd let that poor man starve!"
I said no, if someone asked i'd do it, and you know he will take you up on that offer. I said believe what you want, and it diffused the tension.
That is Fe playing out and manipulation with it.
