Adults
Alone
The moon gleamed on the backyard bay when she found Stephen crying and alone on the patio, shivering, completely drenched. Empty beer cans surrounded the dejected figure. His suit reeked of the salty, pungent marine scent. The crisp, clear night brought a biting breeze but inside the wedding venue people joyously danced and mingled with friends and loved ones. She took her son's cold, trembling hand in hers. In silence they went home.

$120 Dilemma
Entering the shopping center I noticed several dollar bills on the floor. I picked them up and to my surprise they were six $20 dollar bills. My dilemma. Should I pocket the money and quickly walk away. Or take the money to security. Maybe check at the nearest store if money was reported loss. I could always donate the $120 to my favorite charity. What would you do?
