Leon found them everywhere, under couch cushions, on the sidewalk, smashed flat on railroad tracks. And he always pocketed them for good luck.

He wasn’t superstitious, exactly, just practical. After all, a penny saved was a penny earned.

So when he saw a new, shiny penny in the alley, he grinned, stooped, picked it up… and narrowly avoiding a bullet with his name on it. Shouting for backup, he whirled and returned fire.

When the dust had finally settled, the bad guys taken down, he slumped against the wall, heart pounding at his narrow escape.

And thanked his lucky penny.
