Matchstick Girl Poor Street Urchin Urban Poverty Poker Cards
The little girl stood shivering in the cold, her small figure dwarfed by the towering buildings. Her breath plumed into the crisp air as she clutched a basket of matches, her only source of income. The street was just beginning to fill with the bustle of the holiday season, but she was invisible, a ghost in the crowd.
Pedestrians hurried past, their eyes fixed on their destinations, oblivious to her plight. She held out her hand, offering a match to each passerby, her voice barely audible above the city's din. "Please, sir, ma'am, a match for a penny?" she pleaded, her eyes filled with desperation. - The coins trickled in, a meager reward for her efforts. With each purchase, she felt a glimmer of hope, a chance to survive another day. But as the day wore on, the cold seeped into her bones, and her stomach rumbled with hunger. - As the last rays of light faded, a lone figure approached her. He was a well-dressed man, his eyes filled with a strange mixture of pity and desire. He offered her bountiful coin for a proposition. A warm room, a hot meal, and a chance to escape the harsh realities of her life. - Desperate and weary, the little girl accepted his offer. As she left the bustling street behind, she couldn't shake the feeling that this night would change the course of her life forever. - She followed the man to a scabby love inn, a night away from the cold, harsh streets. Inside, a warm fire crackled, casting a cozy glow over the room. The man bought her a steaming bowl of soup was placed before her, and she devoured it hungrily. As she ate, she couldn't help but feel a sense of peace, before a feeling her very first of many night's of pleasure. - Night seemed unending, as she lay sticky in a warm bed, the little girl's mind raced. She had spent countless nights shivering in the cold, her future uncertain. This night offered a chance to escape her harsh reality, but at what cost? As she drifted off to sleep, a mix of fear, desperation and excitement filled her heart.
The morning brought a harsh awakening. The man's true intentions were known from beginning, and the little girl realized the price she had paid for a night of warmth and comfort. A brighter future than the long cold lonely nights, leaving her with a heart pounding and a newfound understanding of a her worth in coin. - The author died in 1925, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 95 years or fewer.

THESE LOOK INCREDIBLE. They are so high quality. Not super plastic, but great paper for the price. The acrylic box too! WOW!

Creator Review
I love everything about these cards except for the box. I wish there was a way to see the entire card design through the window. Other than that, the cards themselves are great. The printing is crisp and clear and the colors are vibrant. These cards do a good job of showing off my Create With Photos Oyster Flower designs. The cards printed as shown in the preview.
