I mourn for Nightbringer's Thirteen everyday uuuoppgh

[guttersniper]

A bucket of sidewalk chalk is left at Mutt's usual daytime stoop. After significant use, the thick stick of dusty color grinds down to half its size wherein a tip of green is revealed in its center. Inside the chalk stick is a tightly coiled green bill: ten dollars. In the rest: a one dollar bill, a two dollar bill, a five dollar bill, a twenty dollar bill, a hundred dollar bill, and a five hundred dollar bill.

mutt's birthday 2025!

for most of the day, mutt watches people use the chalk to spread rainbows, baby animals, constellations, and hopscotch boards across the pavement. a small girl with colorful beads in her hair convinces him to draw her something. while crouched, tongue tip peeking just so out the corner of his mouth in concentration—the jackpot is hit.

quietly, he crushes the chalk stick beneath his boot heel. it gives with a muffled crunch. he holds the ten dollar bill up to the sun, checking for a counterfeit. satisfied, he bends down far enough to pluck a baby blue stick out from the bucket, then gives it the same treatment.

he again looks towards the bucket, deliberating. he stops before it begins to feel like getting too lucky at a casino. he nonchalantly leaves one hundred and fifteen dollars richer. there's a lot he could use that can be bought with that kind of money, even in this world.

the rest, if there is any to speak of, can likely serve someone else better.
