Counterfeit Money Mystery
by Amber

Something really strange happened one particular Easter day. My best friend and I had just finished cleaning my room for some guests that were coming over for Easter dinner and we cleaned my room so well, we even vacuumed under the bed and under the mattresses and just everything. We went downstairs to get a snack. We were the only ones in the house, so this rules my family out entirely. We came back in my entirely clean room... but we found this pink counterfeit dollar bill on the ground. We couldn't understand how it got there. We cleaned my room top to bottom, wall to wall. There is no toy money in my room whatsoever and it definitely wasn't my friend because she was out of the room when I checked to make sure everything was clean. It had an inscription that read, "Money doesn't buy you happiness" and there was a list on the back of places in a house such as the living room and around a computer. We found a pink dollar under my computer keyboard! We found about seven pink dollars in my house that night in different places - all the places that were listed on the back of the pink dollar bill. We got chills we later asked everybody if they had any toy money. No one did. My parents thought I just had it hidden somewhere, but this money wasn't Monopoly money. It was much different. I don't have any of the pink dollar bills today because the next day they totally vanished. My best friend and I still bring this story up and we still get shivers to this day.
