Every day, Jennifer played chess with a homeless man who shared his stories with her. One day, he borrowed money and then disappeared! In despair, Jennifer sat at the chess table in the city park. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper under the chessboard. It was a note addressed to Jennifer!
Jennifer’s heart ached from her father’s recent passing. The park, their shared refuge, was now a place of solace and pain.
Lost in thought, she noticed an older man playing chess alone. His nondescript, faded clothing and gray, unkempt hair belied the spark in his eyes. Every day for the past week, Jennifer had seen him there.
