He’d been waiting for an hour, watching his lucky socks tumble uselessly in a dryer that wouldn't heat. Now, this. A bulky wallet, bulging with crisp hundred-dollar bills, sat on the cold metal of a folding table. Someone’s carelessness.

He shoved the offending object into his pocket. Another thing to deal with. He pictured his empty fridge, his dwindling savings. His jaw clenched. He was already running on fumes.

He pictured the owner. Stupid idiot. He kicked the dryer. That was enough.
