Pennies from Heaven
by Bryan B.

This happened to me last year on a clear beautiful sunny September day. I had just come back from picking something up for lunch and parked in the lot at work and was walking from my car to the office door, when all of a sudden I heard a clinking sound, like something metallic hitting the asphalt. Just a couple feet in front of me, I saw two shiny new pennies, glimmering in the sun against the black pavement. As I was about to pick them up (hey, why not? Find a penny pick it up...) something fell right in front of my face, then another, and another, which almost hit me in the arm before hitting the ground. There were now about 6 or 7 bright, freshly minted cents around me, within a few feet radius. I looked around to see who might be throwing their change at me, and from where, but I seemed to be alone in the lot, and there was nowhere above me somebody could be dropping them from anyhow, since I was still too far from the office building for that to be possible where they were falling. As I stood there, wondering what the heck was going on, I felt a sudden shooting pain on the top of my head, and saw a penny land at my feet after it struck me. I bent down and picked up the handful of pennies, and as I was picking them up, two or three more fell to the ground nearby. I picked one up and it was very warm. What was also somewhat odd was that each penny was dated 2000, which I realized after I got back in the office and took another look at the coins.
