Generosity and honesty are some of the values that don’t come by too often. But when they do, the universe finds a way to reward the people who possess them. Such is the story of Gerrell McAllister, a 28-year-old cashier, who received a handsome amount of money one fine morning from a stranger. Who could it be? And why were they sending Gerrell money? What could they possibly want from an ordinary man like him?

One Of Those Mornings

It was a sunny morning in Takoma, Washington. Gerrell was lying awake in his bed, minutes away from his alarm going off. He didn’t sleep much last night, but then again, it has been that way for months now. After the event that turned his life upside down, it was difficult to sleep. Losing a mother would do that to anyone. His thoughts kept him awake most nights. But waking up was not a pleasure either. How do you stay awake when the reality is worse than your dreams?
