Assignment: A five dollar bill changes hands five times in one day. Make a list of where, when, who hands it over, and for what.

when: 8a
where: Bojangle’s on Bluff Road
who: a lawyer on the way to work, driving a Lexus SUV (he bought a bacon, egg & cheese biscuit and paid with a $20, of course)

when: 10a
where: corner of Main and Laurel
who: guy on the street asking for change (the lawyer meant to give $1, feeling generous, but realized too late he gave the $5 instead

when: 10:05a
where: Drake’s Duck-In, outside seating area
who: see, there’s this whole gray-market economy on the street. when the previous owner scored the five, he went straight to a fence, who sold him 3 bottles of t-bird.

when: 3:30p
where: bus stop on Assembly
who: 9-year-old boy who picked it up from under the bench. the fence dropped it accidentally while waiting for the bus. on the bus he would meet his supplier to hand over his day’s earnings. the $5 represented most of his cut for the day, before he lost it.

when: 4:30p
where: Dollar store
who: cashier who takes the dollar from the boy to buy a huge stash of candy
