The young boy's eyes widened. He had stumbled upon it, a vibrant, red wallet gleaming under a park bench. He'd never seen so much money in one place.

He clutched the wallet to his chest. He took a huge breath and started to think about what to do with it. His whole future suddenly felt… different.
