In the shabby cabin, Jack sat quietly on the sofa, looking at his mobile phone with expressionless eyes. His left hand flipped the app in his mobile phone, while his right hand kept recording something.
"8349 dollars..." Jack took a deep breath and looked at the number written on the paper. This figure is the result of his repeated calculation, and there can be no mistake.
Before the 28th of this month, he needed to pay off his credit card debt of 8349 dollars, but today is the 20th. The bank balance is only $198, which includes his living expenses.
Taking a deep breath again, Jack looked at the time, put on his coat and left the hut.
Jack worked three odd jobs, which took up almost all his time. When he finished his last job, it was already midnight. Tired, he did not return to the shabby hut, but went to the Elizabeth Hospital in the center of the city.
On the sixth floor of the hospital is the inpatient department. Jack's sister Jessica is lying quietly on the hospital bed. Her golden hair is like a waterfall. She is like a sleeping angel.
Jack and Jessica are twins. Their faces are very similar. Jack has golden hair like Jessica. His handsome face has been favored by many girls.
They had a happy family, but an accident two years ago made all the happiness come to naught. Jack's parents were killed on the spot in the car accident, and Jessica has been in a coma since then.
The parents' insurance compensation was used to treat Jessica, and even the house was sold by Jack. This is Jack's last relative in the world. At the age of 18, he did not want to feel the same pain again after experiencing the pain of losing his relatives.
Jack wiped Jessica's body and then gave her a muscle massage. This is something he has to do every day. No matter what happens, he will stick to it. Because he hoped that when Jessica woke up, at least she was clean and healthy.
It was two o'clock in the morning when I left the hospital. Jack yawned as he walked. His hair was messy and his body was tired. The street lamp at night is dim, just like his confused life.
"You lost a lot, and you want a lot, right?" A voice came from the darkness. The voice was like the wind in the night, and it could not be found.
"Who is there?" Jack suddenly woke up. The security around here is not good. A few days ago, someone was robbed while walking on the night road here. "I don't have any money," Jack said nervously.
Under the street lamp pole, a black figure suddenly appeared. Jack felt that he just blinked, and the man appeared in his vision. However, he can be sure that in the last second, there was no one there. The street lamp pole is not thick, and no one can hide behind it. The man appeared from the darkness like a ghost.
"Don't worry, I can give you what you want." The man in black slowly came to Jack. He was wearing a black robe. Even under the street lamp, Jack still couldn't see his face clearly.
The man in black seems to be smiling, which is Jack's feeling. He confirmed that he could not see the other person's face clearly, but he could still feel that the other person was smiling. This is a very strange feeling.
"This is a credit card. You should need it." The man in black took out a dark card from nowhere. His palm was thin, not even human palm.
"Credit card?" Jack did not dare to pick up the dark card. He had never seen such a strange credit card before, and the palm of his opponent's hand made him afraid, just like a black bone.
"Yes, a credit card. A credit card that can borrow anything." The man in black said with a smile.
