The gentle sway of the hammock was mesmerizing. Liam closed his eyes, the afternoon sun warming his skin. He had spent the morning working on a difficult problem and finally found a solution. The sense of accomplishment was invigorating. He felt at peace. His eyes opened when he saw something glinting on the ground nearby. It was a wallet.

Opening it he was astonished by the amount of money inside. His pulse quickened, but his breath remained steady. A sense of calm descended upon him. He could almost feel his muscles relaxing. He’d decided he would make a small purchase or two to treat himself.
