Horatio's lucky penny page 1 by ric gustafson
John Ellis took off a plaque from the wall. He carefully wrapped it and put it into a cardboard box. He heard a knock on his door.
" Come in".
Franklin Monroe walked in. " We're going to miss you around here John".
" It's time". He took off another plaque. " 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 in John's hand. " That's a strange plaque".
John handed him the plaque. " It was given to me by a resident who passed away".
Franklin studied the plaque. " There is a single penny encased in it".
John grinned, " Would you like to hear the story behind this plaque?".
" Sure".
" Pull up a chair".
