The Password They Never Gave Me

My parents gave me a bank card and transferred twenty thousand dollars into it every month without fail.

Everyone envied me for having such a wonderful family.

But they never told me the password.

I couldn't even afford meals at school, so I applied for financial aid.

My mother, Linda Harrison, stormed into the school and slapped me across the face.

"We give you twenty thousand a month and you're still not satisfied? Playing poor for attention, you ungrateful brat!"

Later, I developed a perforated ulcer from starvation and lay in the operating room, desperate for money to save my life.
