Prompt: In A Pickle…
It was a fleeting moment, a half-arsed attempt at helping a person in a pickle. A misguided surge of pride, a story of charity that truly meant nothing.
Because she saw through him, her dark eyes nodded in a meaningless thanks, as meaningless as his offer.
The soft thud of the coins against the plastic cup, the obnoxious ping as they clanged together, as if calling others to witness his action of selflessness.
Her dark pleading eyes trapped him, he was a good guy, not so good but good enough. He couldn't in good faith turn away when clearly she was begging.
She was indignant, as if his five dollars would change her life, as if his fleeting attempt at charity would save her from the streets.
She was sceptical and scoffed at his charity, but a part of her heart warmed to the charity he offered, and more to the gentle, unsympathetic smile he offered as the change dropped from his palm.
