A day late, gonna use this opportunity to go back and write 100-word stories again…

Title: Spare Change

“Spare change. Spare change, kind sir.”

“Here you go.”

“Thank you. God bless you.”

Afterwards, I watched that kind young man walking away. I could hear his friend telling him that I was just going to use that money on beer. A fair point, for I was not the man I had presented myself as.

My name is Hyksos, the Grand Prince of the Rygel Systems. Here on Earth, I had been collecting money to retake my kingdom from the Grand Vizier who had usurped my throne. I tried to be upfront once, but they thought I was from Nigeria.
