DOLLAR & TOM

The man said ‘Be lucky’, passed Lisa a dollar and walked away. Tom described the $200 that she made as ‘a nice amount…nothing life changing’. Tom and Lisa had an evening catching up when she was back from Vegas. He told her he’d given notice on his flat, he was moving in with his girlfriend. But they’d split up and now he was heartbroken and tired after a tedious couple of weeks trying to find a new place. Lisa handed him the lucky dollar. Tom kept it folded on his bedside table and eventually ‘life just sorted itself out’. Lisa had a baby, Dylan. Tom asked her if Dylan would perhaps like the dollar now. But Lisa said no, it was his and maybe there was still some luck in it for him.
