    by Rebecca Moreno My attention was fully focused on the TV. Seeing that I didn't say a word, the stranger spoke again, "Don't ignore me. Maybe I can make you rich. I've changed my mind.

    by Rebecca Moreno It was supposed to be an ordinary night. There was no power outage, no water cut, no clogged sewer pipes, no quarrels among neighbors, and no lunar eclipse, meteor shower, or sudden drop in temperature. If there was any difference from the past, it was that my wife and son were not at home, making the night even colder and less likely to have any stories. To my relief, there was going to be a highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on TV that night. This was a long -…
