The day a man lost his lotto ticket

 





Title: The day a man lost his ticket




It was high noon, the sun shone like a candle in an abandoned home. This was in a town called Seren there weren't many people nor any cars passing by. Ding-Ding, ding ding the dairy shops sensor echoed around the shop as a man named Peter walked in,

“What would you like?” The woman at the cashier asked

“ I would do myself a lottery ticket thank you,” Peter replied. Peter is unlucky, he doesn't get what he needs and he is living off benefit. Winning the lottery would be a huge milestone for him.   


Scrape, scrape “ Please just one more five, YES I won the lottery I need to go to turn this in right now!” Peter was so dumbfounded he was left for words. Thump OOF!  Peter was a hay bale which tumbled onto the soft, lush grass. YawN.  When Peter woke up unconscious he started frantically searching his clothes for the missing lotto ticket but he had no luck. The dairy owner saw the man and she asked about the situation, Peter told her and she also started looking for the missing lotto ticket. Unfortunately, the woman also had no luck finding it until…  


A mysterious man in a dull, black hoodie approached them and asked in a polite way,

“ Is this yours?” Peter’s smile was so high it nearly reached Mt Everest, he gladly accepted it from the man. The mysterious man strutted along the sidewalk like geese on the grass. Peter turned the ticket in. If those people wouldn't have helped him he would have never won the lottery.


The clouds and sun scrambled away as Peter strolled back to his motel. He hopped on his Kings single bed and daydreamed “ I wonder what would have happened if those people were not there.” Fate was on Peter’s side today and he continued to live a happy life without worries.
