HOW TO SPEND A FORTUNE
When Edith won the
lottery she was catatonic. The amount was so ridiculous she couldn't
comprehend it and sat in her flat in a daze. Her little wrinkly eyes
stared at nothing. She barely ate and her already tiny wizened body
turned bony. Anyone who saw her was reminded of one of those hairless
Sphynx cats.
She ignored the
telephone and doorbell: she knew it was her greedy children.
A year later something
in Edith clicked.
Five years after that
Edith stood under the domed ceiling and sighed, satisfied that she'd
spent her money wisely.
Her children thought
otherwise.
