Waiting for tomorrow
|
Late in the afternoon, he stopped his car at a red-light intersection. An old lottery ticket seller stepped in, handing over a stack of tickets that were already damp from sweat.

I have a friend who often tells world stories. He knows everything, as firmly as if he was himself at the scene. From the story of the newly opened coffee shop being profitable or losing money, the internal struggles of that company, to the marriage of an artist having problems. One day, while talking non-stop, someone at the table burst out laughing and pointed at his chest: "Hey, you buttoned your shirt wrongly!". Everyone looked down, indeed his shirt had been buttoned incorrectly from the first button. Everyone laughed loudly, making him blush.
