Actually, those two words have been in my head the last couple of days. All my life I’ve been a rather unlucky guy: dogs would pee on my shoes, I would drop everything from my pockets, and birds wou... | |

Joe was sorting the bills, counting them out like he did every night with slow patience. I sat on the old stool, spinning round now the store was closed for the night. I didn't like to leave the old man alone when he locked up and the few extra minutes, they didn't hurt.
