Today's OneWord: Declined
"Your card has been declined, sir. You'll have to use another."
"That can't be right," Simon sputtered. "I should have a good chunk of money on there."
But the cashier only shook her head. "I've tried it twice now, sir. You'll need to use your other card."
There was only one explanation - his bitch of an ex-wife had to have drained his entire checking account. Now was not the time to panic. Simon had to breathe. He reached back into his wallet and frustratedly pulled out a twenty.
