Bank balances keep score: vast accumulated wealth the desired pinnacle. On the city streets below the people scurry through their daily lives, unwitting pieces in a cutthroat contest.

Thanks, Sonya. 🙂 I was inspired to write this as soon as I saw the prompt, though I didn’t have the time to finish it until yesterday! Work has this annoying habit of eating into my writing time…
