Don's Bad Luck, by Mark Tulin
18/10/2019

Don’s wife left him last year for another man and recently filed for divorce. Now that his wife’s gone, he’s unable to afford his beautiful new dream house, and it is in foreclosure. Worst of all, the court restricts his visits with his two children to every other weekend.

But this morning, Don found a white feather at his doorstep. He remembered that his grandmother always said that a white feather is a sign of good things to come. Don picked up the feather, put it in his lapel, and went to work. Later that day, Don got a promotion.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    Loved that, Mark! Reminded me of my own messenger of good tidings–the butterfly.

    I’ll remember this story from now on when I see a white feather. Thanks for that, Mark!
