Stopping in a window, he saw he lacked the money required for the good life. He looked around and saw people from other countries working harder than those from his own. And they had more than enough, and got what they wanted.
He wondered what he wanted. He had not seen his daughter in several weeks. He would like to be able to see her. He did not have the money to fly out to her, nor did he have enough to move to where she lived in California, with her mother, where the rents were exorbitant.
His friends were approaching. A group of four of them, all pushing each other and laughing. Not a care in the world. Some of them had children, and they didn't seem to mind. One of them got arrested for attempted robbery and did a little time. If all had gone off well, he would have had enough money, to do what he needed.
To do what you need to do is what we all want to do.
Inside the church, several people in the back turned around because he let the door slam. He was on his way in.
On his way out, he held it, and no one heard a thing.
