About this listen

"But, first, he stopped before the mirror. He was a handsome man, but, vain. No woman could resist him, he believed; few actually did. In consequence, they were objects of contempt, victims rather than recipients of love."

So begins "The Lost Key" a short story by Hal Ellson published in Manhunt magazine in February 1960, narrated as an audiobook by Mike Vendetti. But what happens when Mr. Wonderful puts his moves on a female narcissist?
