Winning Big

THE TRANSACTION

       This morning as I headed for work, I received a package with a letter sent by Mr. Chris. Inside, there was a shiny key,likely a car key, for it had a silver peace sign at the body of the key. Also,the letter wrote:

"To a diligent man, needing of motivation, here is a gift from me to you." ~Mr. Chris.

       I was really excited, so I trotted downstairs forgetting my suitcase, which I ran back up to get. Outside, a shiny black Mercedes parked elegantly along the curb glistened in the sun. It was too much, so instead, I walked as usual to work. I didn’t want to see Mr. Tien so I directly went into the conference storage room, and located the file Mr. Chris was looking for. Immediately, I left the building and went to the place where Mr.Chris and I were going to meet up. I was bliss, so I called my mom and told her how much I loved her. She asked if I was on drugs.

       At noon, Mr. Chris arrived at the corner of Luck Avenue and Lust Road where I was waiting. It was unusually windy and it began to drizzle. He greeted me and ask show I was doing and I replied and asked the same. Then I gave him the files, he opened the files and skimmed through them, thanking me as he left without a word. After that, I didn’t go back to work; Mr. Chris had made my day and I didn’t want to ruin it again. I headed home, feeling pretty good about myself and I saw color. The dullness of my life seemed to pass away, colors shot out from buildings and it seemed as if my life had been fulfilled. At night, I ate at my favorite restaurant and ordered my favorite but pricey meal. Ah, it was just like my mother’s cooking, perfect and delicious.
