The Invisible Man- Elusive Swiss Billionaire Lester Mittendorf

The Invisible Man- Elusive Swiss Billionaire Lester Mittendorf

Elusive Swiss billionaire Lester Mittendorf was known to his friends as the Invisible Man.
For he was quite literally invisible.
Back in the 1980s he had drunk an invisibility potion that a scientist had made for him.
Unfortunately Mittendorf had forgotten to ask the scientist if he had developed a re-visibility potion.
For the scientist hadn't.
And Mittendorf had been pretty much invisible ever since.
Back in the 1990s, Mittendorf had tried to buy the Edmonton Oilers NHL Hockey Team using a New York based agent.
But because Mittendorf was an invisible financier, the deal fell through.
Now Mittendorf walked along Bourbon Street of Edmonton's West Edmonton Mall.
He had come to Edmonton to see the Edmonton Oilers play hockey- totally oblivious to the fact that there was a labour dispute and a lockout going on so there was no NHL Hockey this season.
Shoot, no NHL hockey game.
No seeing the Oilers- the team he tried to buy.
Mittendorf was sick.
Sick of not owning an NHL Hockey team.
Sick of women he dated telling him, "You never show me your real self."
In short he was sick of being invisible.
There was only one man who could help him become visible again.
A fellow Swiss citizen- Dr. Fahrenheit Celsius.
But Celsius was obsessed with time and space travel and extraterrestrials.
Mittendorf regretted the fact that he had given Celsius a copy of Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods? when he visited the Swiss orphanage at Christmas where Celsius grew up as a boy.
He regretted the fact that one of his companies had been one of the original sponsors of the TV show Ancient Aliens which was Celsius' favourite show.
Celsius had helped develop CERN'S Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
Now he was in Vancouver, B.C awaiting the return of the extraterrestrial vampire Osiris at English Bay on December 21st 2012.
Mittendorf would fly to Vancouver and likewise await the return of Osiris.
In the meantime, he'd go back to his hotel room at the Fantasyland Hotel and await the results of the U.S. Presidential election.

To be continued.
