One moment
One oppertunitity
A simple eye connection
And secret looks at the ground
A bag spilling with coins
Bills 
Faces glaring up at us
Screaming take me.
But this money comes with a price
We both know that.
Take the money 
Pay the price
And you're filthy rich.
In money anyway.
Our hands touch on the bag
A thick canvas sack
Rough under our fingertips
Take the money
In that moment our eyes meet
A train whistles
We stand up and walk away.
Our heel clicks fading into the distance, 
Leaving behind an undesirable canvas sack

 

Two guys named Matt and Dan waited at a train station, but then they saw a bag of money.

They said to each other, “Let's take it,” so they did. They were okay leaving the train.

They got a rental truck and drove off.

Then the police pulled them over because they saw money flying out of the bed of the pick up truck.

They got arrested and were sentenced to jail for 15 years.

“Come on Ciara! Were going to miss the train!” Marzia screamed at her. Ciara ran out of her door looking a mess carrying everything in her hands with an empty bag on her shoulder, Marzia points to the bag “Are you gonna use it?” Marzia chuckles.

“Haha.” Ciara says sarcastically pouring her things in the bag.

“Come on we’re going to be late,” Marzia said already walking away.
When they get to the train station the train was just about to get there, the girls sit down  next to a man and a woman with twins diaper bags underneath the mesh-like bench. The parents train arrives and they get up and get on the train forgetting their bag. “ Hey guys, you forgot your bag!” Ciara picks up the bags and runs toward them but she’s too late and the train doors close. Ciara walks back to the bench and slumps down. “ There going to miss this stuff there’s probably so many memories in here,”. Marzia looks at the half open bag.
