Like a Dollhouse Marching Band

by

Ten-dollar-an-hour laborer Tim Scott’s wish came true.

He was out for lunch when the wind turned menacing. Slips of wallet-sized paper flew from his body. Two quarters where his eyes had been took flight. Viewed from a certain angle, they resembled bass drums in a dollhouse marching band.

It was like Santa came to town. Folks grabbed what they could. A few were injured. Fatally.

Tim was stripped like a Mercedes-Benz left unattended in the South Bronx.

On the day he died, Tim Scott was made of money.

Better still?

Having shared his good fortune, he made it to Heaven.
