[ WP ] Today , someone died because of a single penny . Tell their story .

She emerges from the street-level Starbucks on Market St. with her extra hot vanilla latte, mumbling to herself. 
 
 *Retarded. All these people are retarded. Every one of them. Took me forever to get here this morning and now these fucking “ baristas ” ( or whatever the hell you call them ) have no concern with how fast they take your order and make your fucking drink. Those dumb-shits standing in line didn ’ t even know what they wanted until they got up to the counter! YOU ’ VE BEEN STANDING THERE TWENTY MINUTES AND YOU STILL DON ’ T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!? Fucking idiots. All of them. * 
 
 She waits at the red light to cross Pine & jump through the 101 California Plaza. A red Honda is trying to make a right on to the one-way Pine St. Fucking RETARD! 
 
 Just then she realized that the cashier didn ’ t give her her change. *Well, it was only a penny. I should probably let it go…* 
 
 *No… fuck that. That little bitch needs to learn not to fuck with me. * 
 
 She spins on her heels and begins marching back to give the girl a piece of her mind and get her penny back. It ’ s not worth it, she thinks, yet storms on anyway. *Nobody gets over on Rhonda Mills like this. Nobody. * 
 
 Practically running, she jets across Market Street. Though she noticed something in her peripheral vision, she doesn ’ t realize that the F Train is barreling stright towards her, until it is far too late. She dives out of the way to avoid the train, but didn ’ t dive far enough. 
 
 The train screeches over her stockinged legs, severing both of them just below the knee. She begins to scream, but mostly our of anger and fear, not feeling the pain quite yet. 
 
 *You fucking moron train driver! Couldn ’ t you see me running across the street!? I ’ m going to sue the shit out of you! * 
 
 Just as the shock kicks in, she rolls her head to the left, just in time to see the tread of the semi tires… but not enough time for her brain to process what it was… before they crushed her skull.
