Mark, I lived in that neighborhood, in Brooklyn's Marine Park, way, way before you were born. Your story brings back vivid memories of those winters past (although our prices were a lot lower then). Of course, if my Dad ever found out that we went inside some strange guys' house, $100 or not he'd have had a fit.
I enjoyed this story. It brought back a lot of memories back from when I was a kid, giving me an image with every sentence. I remember those moments when you find yourself somewhere you shouldn't be--so scared but so brave. Very nice job.
