The guitar from the dumpster turned out to be very valuable…and no one had ever noticed or said anything before.
The incredibly kind pawnshop owner … or maybe just manager…gave her more than half the book value……when they might not even get that much for it in the shop, even after investing possibly hundreds more.And that was after he ignored her saying that she only wanted 10 dollars
And then he handed 12 grand in cash to a middle-schooler…with no ID and no adult present to walk her home or sign the paperwork….presumably without running a stolen property check…cos where I live there’s a waiting period and a police “buy book.”
This has become so wildly unlikely, I keep wondering whether she’s about to wake up, back in Grandma’s trailer…maybe wondering whether that chili dog before bed gave her crazy dreams.
OK….

I hope not…. but it’s all awfully perfect.
