Horatio's lucky penny page 1 by ric Gustafson
John Ellis took off the plaque from the wall and put it into a large cardboard box. He heard a knock on his door. " Come in".
His friend and co worker Franklin Monroe walked in. " We're going to miss you around here".
" It's time" he replied as he took the last plaque off of his wall. " I would like to spend more time with my wife and grandkids".
Franklin smiled. " The shelter won't be quite the same without you". He glanced at the plaque on the desk. " That's a strange plaque".
John grinned as he handed it to his friend. " This was given to me by a resident who passed away".
Franklin studied it carefully. " It has a single penny encased in it".
" Would you like to hear the story behind this penny?".
" Sure".
John and Franklin sat down. Memories started to come back to John.
