My entry (with some edits) to the “Voucher Redeemed” Mini-Contest on Scribophile
(the italicized bit was copied from the challenge prompt and added for extra context)
A movie palace is closing down . . .
“So, this is it?”
“This is it.”
“I’m going to miss you, Edgar — what are you moving on to?”
“I’ll be glad to retire and help my daughter with her kids — if i can keep up with them.”
“I’m beginning not to understand this world either — what is this they’re handing out?”
“I’m not sure. They’re giving it to everyone who came this month — it’s from the gentlemen who bought the building.”
Inside the envelope, a voucher — a complimentary 3-month Pacific Prime streaming subscription:
“Do you know what they’re doing with the place?”
“Do they know?”
