HUNDRED WORD HIT #232 - THE SILVER COIN #9
Silver Coin #9 by Vita Ayala & Michael Walsh
With mounting gambling debts, a NYPD detective is given the opportunity to pay off what he owes by starting a fire in an abandoned building.
Shaking down a junkie in the building’s doorway he pockets a small silver coin before torching the empty tenement.
Except it’s not empty and a girl has seen him start the fire. Masquerading as her rescuer as the fire service arrive, the cop is lauded as a hero.
But before his debts are paid more buildings must burn and the strange coin may have a way of ensuring he in turn meets a fiery end.
