The wallet was a vibrant red, as if taunting her. Inside, a wad of bills. She stared at it, the paper feeling flimsy under her fingers. She was fresh out of college, working a dead-end job with minimal pay.

Her throat constricted. The money represented the freedom she craved, the ability to escape her suffocating existence. Freedom for someone else who didn't even care.

Her fingers trembled as she snapped the wallet shut. She wanted to scream. She wanted to throw it away. Instead, she took a long, slow breath.
