Margo's Got Money Troubles

by Rufi Thorpe

I had more money than I’d ever had in my life, yet somehow it never seemed to be enough.

But good or evil, every single dollar was power. Power to hire a lawyer, power to control how she spent her time, power to change her appearance, power to command respect. Power to be who she wanted to be.

And it really makes you wonder: What kind of truth would require this many lies to tell?

I didn’t know the love was supposed to come from within me, and that as long as I loved others, the strength and warmth of that love would fill me, make me strong.
