Low-Blow
There’s an old tale that has circulated all across the globe of the “Red Dollar.” It is said that the red on the dollar is where the devil spit on it. With this red dollar in someone’s possession, a misfortune will befall that person, leaving them broke and a loss of all they possess. The only way to get rid of this dollar is to either buy something with it in hopes that no one pays attention to the color or to have someone steal it from you.
Unbeknownst to Low-Blow, his world is about to be turned upside down once he comes into possession of the red dollar. When he notices this unique dollar he views it as a sign of good luck. How wrong he turns out to be.
“Red Dollar” by Andrea Clinton was a good short story that showed the evils that money can possess. Aside from some minor editing issues, this was a quick read, with a moral to gain from it.
