This Happened

 

It was Tuesday and I was sitting at the bus stop to go home after buying groceries. A man walked up me.

"Excuse me sir. Do you happen to have a quarter?"

This didn't look like anyone asking for money to buy booze. The man looked like he was getting off work and was missing change to get on the bus.

I scrambled to find some change. I told him I might have something in my bag.

"I sure hope so," he said. I scrambled a little faster in case his bus came before mine.

I grabbed a quarter in a pouch and dropped it in his hand.

"Thank you!" And with that, he turned and walked across the street from where I was waiting.

Right into what happened to be a liquor store.

It was a few more minutes until my bus came and I got on. I never saw him come out.
