Chapter 24: 20 Dollars
By Allen Frost
“Yes, hello, is this Mrs. Parrot?”
“Yes! What—who’s this??!”
“Please madame, my name is Rennie and I’m calling you on behalf of your local Shriners Union.”
She sighed a tangled breath back through the receiver.
“Mrs. Parrot, a little while ago you pledged to support our organization with the generous amount of twenty dollars. Now, if you’d like—OH MY GOD!!” he suddenly shrieked and fell against the glass walls of the phone booth, a quarter pulled out like a silver fish on a string.
