I kept that coin pressed into my palm as if it were a lifeline, its rough edge biting into my skin every time panic rose in my throat. I had nothing left except the memory of my boss’s cold eyes and the stranger’s quiet insistence: “You’ll need this more than I do.” I didn’t believe him, but I was too numb to argue. Hours later, desperate and exhausted, I ducked into a tiny café just to get warm, planning to order nothing and leave. Then I saw it: a small cardboard sign by the register—“Coffee and sandwich, pay with any coin. No questions.” My hand shook as I laid the rusty coin down. The barista smiled like I’d given her gold, not trash. That meal didn’t fix my life, but it proved something had survived the firing: I wasn’t worthless. And as long as I could feel that coin’s scar on my palm, I wasn’t done yet.
