Pirate Toy Fund
As I stare at the blinking cursor after each word I write, I wonder…did someone test different blinking speeds? Do faster blinking cursors cause insanity? I think I need a slower blinking cursor.
On Christmas Eve, I donated all of my crane game winnings to the Pirate Toy Fund. The organization gives donated toys to local children in need. On the way to the collection center, I asked my brother to stop by Tully’s so I could win five more to make the grand total twenty five. The last time I was there, I won fourteen. Ten dollars later and we walk out empty handed. I should have stuffed dollar bills into the toys instead of feeding the machine dollar after dollar.
The crane game operator must have changed the setting. I stood there staring into machine.
“The oasis has dried up.” My brother says.
“It rigged now…” I reply.
“Time to go man, time to go.”
“Ok.”
Something has changed… I’ve been on a losing streak. Well, other then my big head Mrs. Santa win at the mall the other day, I haven’t been able to pull out anything regularly. Maybe this is a sign. Time to move on.
My brother and I drive to the closest collection center which is at the grocery store. On the way to the front door we pass a man that looks like he’s going to pull out gun at anytime. We steer clear and walk to the other sliding doors on the opposite side. The lines are incredibly long and people are streaming out with full carts. We fight our way to the bin. I feel like Santa holding the trash bag over my shoulder.
The bin is overflowing with board games, puzzles, stuffed animals, and toy trucks. I open up my white trash bag of toys and pull out the grey elephant. I smile as my brother snaps a picture. I put the elephant back into the bag and close it up.
It feels good to know that a child will get a present for Christmas.
We walk out to the car and the gun wielding man is gone. Thank God he didn’t select us.
Merry Christmas.
