The Lottery
#WritcoStoryPrompt3
I read it once, then twice. I wasn't imagining it - I had won the lottery!
Now I would be rich! Richer than most.
Alas! If only it were the genetic lottery. "It's just that I'm not into short men," the lilliput girl had said. How unfair! How is it a man's fault as to what genes he received? Isn't it fair that he has the best jeans, if not the genes. ?
Brushing aside these thoughts, I remember, "If one must cry, one must cry rich."
