The weight of the wallet in her purse was a burden, not a blessing. She’d found it in the grocery store, nestled beside a forgotten bag of avocados. The sheer volume of cash – enough to change her entire life – sent a wave of nausea through her.

Her breath hitched. The bills seemed to glare up at her, mocking her meager existence. She felt a pressure building behind her eyes. Why not her? Why wasn't she the one who was blessed?

She pulled the car over to the side of the road, gripping the steering wheel so tightly her knuckles ached. This wasn't fair. This was a cruel joke.
