The Big Mistake reminds of the movie "A Simple Plan." It all seems so simple when you come up with an idea, but then life gets in the way and all hell breaks loose. Based on O'Henry’s The Ransom of Big Chief. In part two the grifters are deep in a plot that did not take into account a 10 year old hell-cat kinda kid. There are three parts, and all are about 10 minutes long.

It was an early spring morning, and the fire had only just been lit. The little sitting room still smelled of coffee and woodsmoke. A young woman sat near the flames with her coat still buttoned to the chin, and even with the warmth of the fire, she was shivering.

Her name was Helen. She was not yet forty, but her hair had gone gray too soon, and her eyes had the look of someone who had not slept in a long while.

The detective looked at Eleanor for a long moment. Then he flipped back several pages in his notebook, and read aloud.

Detective Bryce Callahan crouched over Harold one last time, his pencil tracing a slow arc near the back of the man's head. Pushing hair here and there. A distinct small depression — deliberate, not accidental — sat just above the left ear. On the shelf above the body, a pale ring in the dust marked where something had rested for a long time. Whatever it was, it was gone.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s short story "To Be or Naught to Be," a darkly comic look at a future world that solved overpopulation by requiring volunteers to die so newborns can live. The episode follows a father facing an impossible choice, a hospital muralist's reflections, and the chilling telephone number 2BRO2B.

The story is presented in two parts with musical interludes and gentle narration designed for listeners experiencing mild to moderate dementia.
