Loose Change

If there's one thing you can always count on, it's change. But the shift in Chance's job description is one change he could have done without. It's an ill-fitting role, and his displaced colleague is just as much in the dark as to its purpose as he is.

Chance finds matchmaking particularly irksome from his lonely post behind the counter of Sweets to the Sweet. From Belfast to Auckland, Bruges to Los Angeles, he works his magic, hoping that sooner rather than later his own fate may be fulfilled.

Thus far, Chance's only reward for a job well done is more of the same. Since he's had enough with going through the motions, he decides it's time to make a big splash. Will management take notice?
