THE MOMENT

"It's simple," Ray said.

"Easiest thing in the world.

Just place this on the head."

Ray showed the crown to Harold.

"There should be two staff members."

"I can't believe they pay so much,"

Harold grumbled and shook his head.

"Even forgetting one day is too much;

It cost more than my car did."

"From their perspective, it's worth it,"

Ray commented with a nod.

"For some, even a daily habit."

"They focus on money, not people.

It's easier to choose money over people

If everyone is no one you remember."
