'Appiness

Ven vill these people learn?

Money isn’t everything. Money cannot buy, nor even rent ‘appiness, not true ‘appiness.

What money can buy you is black ‘appiness, fool’s ‘appiness, blood ‘appiness.

The ”’appiness” that comes from knowing you can use those less endowed monetarily for your own amusement.

That is not ‘appiness. It is narcissism, avarice, and envy.

Money can only buy company for thine misery.

Never anything close to ‘appiness.

    I don’t have time to contextualize this, guys, just fyi.

    I think the context will appear as the story progesses. The voice of the character is very strong. Keep it going…

    At first I didn’t know what you were going for with the accent, I thought humor, but after I finished I felt that the accent applied depth to a very wise character. It read like an interview—now, like jeopardy, I’m constructing the question from the answer and trying to figure it out that way. This has more potential than you might have given yourself credit for. It’s original, I like it.
