"Another day, another bill," sighed Jessica as she stared at the stack of envelopes on her kitchen table. Her shoulders slumped. She glanced at the glistening Rolls Royce parked in front of the Richards' house. The Richards had just returned from a trip to the Swiss Alps. Jessica's entire focus was on making sure the lights stayed on this month.

She dragged herself to the sink to wash the dishes, the chore a symbol of her daily grind.

A profound sense of weariness settled over her. The contrast between her life and the Richards' was a chasm she felt she would never be able to cross.
