The Deal

Daisy badly wanted the cash.

The reward was high.

But, she didn't know what she was signing up for.

All she had to do was take the stranger's place on the bus by wearing the latter's expensive dress and carrying her leather bag.

Seemed simple.

Cash was instantly credited to her mother's bank account.

She had no clue what was in the bag or in that dress's pocket.

 

Empathy For The World

I just realized that if we remove the two letters a and h from the word "Empathy," some letters remain, and the meaning of the word formed by those letters changes.

Eliminating some neighbouring letters (a and h) and bringing the next letters together (e, m, p, t, y), we have a different word- "Empty".

Contemplating this, one realizes this is indeed the case with "empathy" in this world.
