"Leave before I get men to drag you back to jail!" My mother pushed me out of the house and locked the door. "
After I was kicked out of my own house by my family, I tried to find a place to sleep. All the cheap motels were already filled.I had no choice but to wander around the city, looking for a place to sleep while I thought of a plan.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice a car charging towards me, so I froze in place, unable to make a decision of whether to go left or right.
The driver was sharper, turning at the last moment so that his car brushed me slightly. The driver drove quickly away, leaving me bruised on the floor. A small box fell out of my pocket. It was Portia's gift that I had forgotten about it when I hurried home worried for my family.
I opened the box and noticed a cheque with Portia handwriting. She had given me 200 billion dollars. I leaped, even though my hips hurt from getting hit by the car.
My original plan bad been to rely on my family for help and to try and find a job that did not require me to show my face or say my full name, like customer service.
