The wallet, a cheap vinyl imitation, sat at the bottom of the overflowing gutter, catching the grime. David picked it up, instantly regretting his decision. It felt sticky, like it had absorbed all the pollution of the city.

He glanced at the contents: bills, a few credit cards, and a crumpled receipt for fast food. He felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

He threw the wallet back into the sewer. It was a relief. He walked away, hands shoved in his pockets, feeling unclean. He hated everything about the situation.
