=**The Golden Coin**=

It was a dark, vast night on the street of Corporal Road, when a person by the name Black Whizzing came down the street, running. Black Whizzing had a mystical coin, which was made of pure gold. The coin had powers to possess! But, the coin was also unlucky. So far, Black was accused of murder from being in the wrong place, and that's why he was on the run. No one knows how Black got the coin, but he had it to escape danger, have wealth, knowledge, and power.

Well, now he was on Corporal Road and he dropped the coin from running from the S.W.A.T. team about 500 yards away. He dropped the coin, and he didn't notice. That is where out story begins with a boy named Sam. Sam was the usual kid in Corporal Road who was athletic, cute, and stupid. When morning rose up, he got out of bed and did two hundred sit - ups Then he ran outside to start his 10 - mile jog across town and back, when he saw a glistening coin in the ground. He picked it up, and he suddenly gained knowledge. He knew what 'cat' meant now. He knew what 2 + 2 is.

He became smart!

Sam suddenly realized this coin is magical! It can give him anything, but nothing happened when he tried to use it. He wondered why. He walked into his house to investigate this mysterious coin when suddenly, the phone rang. Sam looked at the phone screen, and it said **"Billion Dollar Lottery Company"**

Sam actually cursed when he saw this, and he immediately picked up the phone.

"Hello?" said Sam.

"Yes, this is the lottery. You've won! The jackpot it $3,000,000,000.00!" said the lottery announcer.

"Oh my GOD! REALLY!?" yelled Sam excitedly!

"Yep! The shipment of dollar bills will come tomorrow!"

"OK! I'll be home!"

Sam hung up the phone and ran outside like he was in Heaven. He felt like he could multiply his jogging today by ten times and could go through it in under a minute! He felt that the golden coin would be his life now, he could do anything with it. And that was when the bad luck started.

His mom was coming home from work, when a guy was eating a banana, and he threw the banana peel right in front of her car! It didn't end well, and basically ended up a two - story building having a giant hole in it, two causalities, and a seriously injured woman. They took her to the hospital, and she had to be there for the next 4 months. Then the news reached to Sam, and he was forced to go to an orphanage, since there was no one available to babysit, watch over, or adopt him. He didn't even have a father. Once he was in the orphanage, he just remembered about the lottery and how much money he wouldn't get, just from not being at his house.

At the orphanage the next day, he was sitting next to some people eating disgusting food, when a guy right next to him, who Sam hated from the beginning of getting to the orphanage, suddenly died. Sam was accused because of hating him, and Sam also had a cutting knife with him, and that was somehow used as evidence. Soon enough, the police were chasing him out of the orphanage, through the woods, and to Corporal Drive.

He needed a plan to escape the police. Maybe he could throw the coin away? It was a difficult choice to make. The coin could provide riches and intelligence. But it also gave you bad luck. He decided to throw the coin away and return to his normal, athletic, cute, stupid, life. Sam threw the coin in the forest before running down the street and into his house. He managed to avoid the police, and everything went calm again.

The next day, his aunt would be able to take him in for the next four months while his mother heals from the car accident. Sam decided if he ever saw a golden coin again, he'd ignore it.
