The Wheel of Compassionate Time
by Zorlone on Oct.27, 2009, under Inspirational
Jena became a beautiful and intelligent young lady who graduated Cum Laude in college. Her family brought her to a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.
When they were about to pay the bill, an old man approached them.
“I thought I’d never see you again,” he said. This brought puzzlement on Jena and her parent’s faces. He showed her a bag with her name and picture.
“I remember you!” she surprisingly said.
“And I – you,” the man replied.
“I gave you that bag when I was just three one Sunday morning,” Jena fondly recalled.
“The wheel of compassionate time turned and I emerged from my former state, thanks to you. It’s my turn to repay the favor. You found me when I was homeless and your actions gave me hope. Here I am now, the owner of this restaurant.”

Thanks Jhong! The fisrt version of this story was over 300 words and wasn't even half way done. I had to edit the scenes and found this one by chance.

Life is full of surprises indeed. Some of them pleasant, some are not. Me, if I get by not getting squished all too soon by wheel of time, I'd consider myself lucky.
Nice header image. Is that new? Technical question: How did you get the Google AdSense to appear before the image in your post?

A short story that is deep and not corny. Refreshing.
I do believe I see a creative gifting in you.
