Overcoat Short Story Part I


"Wow, what is that?" John, a tall, tan man in a sweaty uniform and work boots, screamed when he saw something shiny under the sun light. He walked there curiously, bent his back, and picked up the little flashing thing. "Oh my goodness," he was so surprised that his mouth even became a big "O." "That is a golden debit card, whose is this?" John whispered to himself while he still not believe what he saw was true. John looked around sneakingly, checking out if someone else saw this gorgeous free gift. "No one is around me," John said softly and a undetected smile appeared on his face. as he carefully putting the card into his old working pants pocket, with a secret plan starting in his brain.

John is a construction worker, who works until late at night to get a meager salary. The poor birth makes him grow up in a inferior family. He has no wife and child, since he can not even support himself well. He is just a marginalized poor man, wandering the unnoticed corners in the industrial city. His friends probably are similar to him, drinking and smoking are the most interesting things for them to do.

It was a common day, but John's life gradually changed with this small shiny golden band card...
