It has nothing to do with money. chapter 2

by Johnny David — "Do you have anything else?" Sarah asked half - angrily and half - mockingly. Who would have thought that the old man mumbled, "Yes, yes..."

Love Lies chapter 3

by Matthew Smith — The old man leaned over, reached out, and wiped away a tear that had trickled to the corner of the old woman's eye. "What are you thinking about?
