Horatio's lucky penny page 5 by ric Gustafson
Horatio kept staring at John. " I'm sorry to stare but you look familiar". He stared again. " Have we met before?".
" I don't think so". He scratched his beard. " I became part of the staff after going through the resident treatment program".
Horatio smiled. " Montana John". He gave him a hug. " Remember me Horatio from the tent colony".
John grinned. " Horatio who used to bring back containers of food from restaurant dumpsters". He frowned. " You disappeared and I thought that something bad had happened to you".
Horatio walked over to a plaque that was one of the walls. " This is what happened to me".
John walked over and studied the plaque. " A penny?".
" That's right". He was looking at it as if it was a shrine. " This lucky penny completely changed my life".
" How is that?".
" That day outside Dominick's completely changed my life". He smiled. " The only explanation I can come up with is this lucky penny".
" So what happened from the tent colony to this fancy house?".
" Have lunch with me and I will explain everything".
