Dragon Coin
I had dreamed of being manipulated, the photographer had lied to me. The photos of which I took were not of me. He had deceived me. They were of someone from a distant land. In the photos, I was no longer myself.
I went to the card dealer, who had noticed this. He told me that the photographer had a knack for deceiving people like this. I wasn’t the first, nor would I be the last. However, I had decided to personally make that last part true. The feelings of rage, hatred, and being hurt were all it took to attempt to destroy this person’s life. Accompanied by the dragon-coin I had obtained from the dealer.
Yet, by the time I returned to the photographer his shop was dismantled. He had very little left to offer. But he realized why I was there. He apologized but spoke very little, if at all. Having seen the chaos and the place distraught, I decided to leave. He had conned me out of my money but I couldn’t stand to see him hurt.
