Death by Angel's tears
Four friends set off on the journey of a lifetime — a globe-spanning adventure sponsored, somewhat ironically, by a major tobacco company. Their expedition began in the rolling green hills of Ireland and was to end on the sunlit steps of the Sydney Opera House, Australia, after crossing five continents.
But they would never reach their final destination.
Rickie was just an ordinary guy — young, full of life, eager to learn, and always ready to lend a hand. His heart was open, and his intentions pure. Along the way, he grew close to Ludz, a charismatic and well-heeled German with an easy smile and a commanding presence. On the surface, Ludz was everything one could admire: intelligent, charming, and generous.
But behind the polished veneer lurked something far darker.
Ludz was a master manipulator — cunning, deceptive, and ruthlessly self-serving. While he drew people in with charm, he quietly orchestrated schemes for his own gain. Those who stood in his way never saw the danger coming. Many, unknowingly, became pawns in his elaborate deceptions. For Ludz, friendship was a tool; loyalty, a currency. And anyone who dared obstruct his ambitions was swiftly shown the road to Heaven.
Rickie and Ludz’s paths became entwined in a journey marked by unexpected turns and twists, betrayals, and a string of misfortunes that would ultimately end in death by unnatural causes.
Their adventure, once full of promise, would end prematurely in tears.
