The Letter
Born 1986, M, from San Antonio, United StatesAs I waited to board the subway, the crowd of people looked infinitely restless. It was Friday evening and it seemed everyone was anxious to get home or anxious to go out.
When I found a seat toward the back, I couldn't help but notice a small, white envelope with the words "Open Me" written on it nestled between two seats. As I curiously opened it, I discovered that it had two five-dollar bills in it along with a letter that forever changed my life:
Dear Stranger,
Please use one of these bills to buy something for yourself and I only ask that you use the other to help a stranger. If you have been helped by this gesture, please consider doing something helpful for another stranger.
Your friend,
A. Stranger
