There is a man in the mountains who has a lot of money. Or it would likely seem a lot of money to you and me, but, given the unlikelihood that he'll ever spend any of it, the lot is less like a lot of money, and more like an enormous collection of coins. These coins are not particularly special; not to you and me; no particular countries of origin, no specific years, no arrangement, nothing unique.
He just likes coins.
He has a wooden house, but no beard to speak of, and he's had a wife- more than once. He doesn't spend a lot time around the town, but he usually has a smile and a wave at the ready.
He is very, very satisfied.
And he really has a lot of coins.
The coin man is part of the same story as the rest of our heroes, but has no impact whatsoever on story, which is why I wanted to write about him. Technically none of the main characaters have an impact on the story either; that's what the author does. But what happens when the author is ~quite the character~? oho.

I'm getting reaquianted with the English language after a 22 year period of abusing it for daily needs. I wrote this on a frogpad (slowly, still), which assisted in keeping this elemental.

Let me know if you liked it, just know that I have no interest in polishing it.

This is funny. Could be a parable, but it's irreverent. Just a statement of, well, fact. Love it. :lmao:
