16 year old Brandon loses a coin toss and discovers that losing isn't always for the worst. (This short story chronicles Andrew and Brandon's questionable get-rich-quick scheme, and how money isn't everything in the end. It contains a detailed, if not too graphic, scene with a sex toy, and a short sex scene between two boys. It is not for the homophobic reader.)
