All That Glitters Isn't Gold Novels & Stories

The hall of the Grand Jewelry Exhibition was a sea of light. Everywhere you looked, there was the sparkle of gold and the cold fire of diamonds. The walls were lined with velvet, and the air smelled like expensive flowers and the best perfume money could buy. Wealthy people moved through the room like slow, graceful sharks. They spoke in low voices, their eyes darting from one glass case to another, looking for the one piece of art that would make them look more powerful than their neighbors.

"Although I do not understand its real value, it must be fee pretty a lot, proper?" "Of course, this may be actual gold while all... but it needs to be born-once more into cash first."

Their hands meet, and Gary squeezes it comfortingly. When they finally looked around the room, they saw that the souls present were from people who lived exclusively for money, wealth, and pomp. They were sitting on piles of gold that they managed to steal from each other, as nothing they had on earth had come with them. Some had more and others had less, but they all had gold with them. They start calling him when they look at Lucifron and see his necklace. No one seems to want to get away from their gold, afraid of losing it, so everyone extends their hands and calls insistently.

The announcer did not pause long. He moved to the lady in the middle, who held a tray with both hands.

The fabric glimmered under the room's soft illumination, cascading in a waterfall of golden sequins. With every subtle shift, the sequins caught the light, creating the illusion of liquid gold flowing over the surface.

While Julie grabbed a broom and started clearing the broken bricks, I went to the master bedroom, pulled out the bundle of gold, and set it on the bed. The gold bars were lined up neatly.
