The letter lay on the kitchen counter, its crisp white envelope mocking him. Inside, his sister’s lawyer, informing him of the intention to sell the family home, and with it, his grandmother's quilt. He felt a wave of nausea, a churning in his stomach that wouldn’t cease.

He choked back a sob. He felt a terrible pressure in his chest, making it hard to think, to breathe. He needed to get away, to disappear.
