It was the last thing he had expected.
He’d been walking through town late at night when he was accosted. He did wonder about the large, rough looking individual as he approached from the opposite direction. It was as they passed that he felt the sudden grip on his collar that swung him into the recess of a shop’s doorway. His assailant, obviously a mugger, held something that felt like a knife to his throat. For a moment or two they stood face to face in the poor light. After the mugger checked the street, in a gruff voice, he said, “I’ll take your wallet, if you don’t mind.”
The man whimpered. “I don’t carry one anymore; honestly, not since my wife died.”
The oaf frowned. “Why not?”
With a contorted face, the man said, “Well, things have gone downhill for me since then. I suffered depression for a while and took time off work.” His eyes watered. “That went badly because the boss eventually let me go. I haven’t been able to find work since. Not only that, my landlord has given me a week to vacate and…” He began to sob.
Taking the plastic comb from the man’s throat, the mugger held up his hand. “OK. I get it.” With a sigh, he took a five dollar note from his own wallet and handed it over, saying, “Now, push off, will you?” With that, he pushed him back out into the street.
The man stood for a moment, nodding gratefully. He said, “Thank you, so much,” and slowly walked away.
Turning into the next street, he felt the satisfying bulge in his back pocket.
