One damn dollar, I got left. What the hell am I gonna do with a lousy dollar? Hit the dollar-menu? Don't need an appetizer, I'm frickin' starved. Somebody stole my blanket. I'm 'bout ready to freeze to death.... if I don't starve first.
I'm thinkin' I'll just end it all.
I see a boy cryin' by a flower cart. He don't have enough for his ma's present.
"How much ya need, boy?"
He looks at me with big round teary eyes.
"A dollar."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, I'll make it after all.
His smile makes me think that dollar was worth a hundred.
