Little Black Book

“Let go!!” Danny clamped down on the corner of his wallet, doing his best to avoid the fists flying into his face. He had stopped to pull out some coins after a homeless gentleman had kindly requested some change. “That's mine!” He gripped as tightly as he could, but after several hits to the face, he fell and the homeless man won. He scowled and watched the man sprint off, gingerly touching his face. Are you kidding me? Every time I try to do something nice! His mind grumbled on and on as he dissected what just happened, and turned toward his financial struggles. Danny was a very kind-hearted, generous, naïve young man who offered help to everyone he met, yet had a real knack for getting himself into unfortunate situations. He picked himself up and hobbled down the street.
