The old farmhouse creaked and groaned around me. I leaned against the weathered doorframe, watching my sister, Chloe, inspect the ancient, dilapidated tractor in the field. The sun, a burning eye in the vast expanse of the sky, beat down relentlessly. My head throbbed.

"This is it, huh?" Chloe said, without looking up.

The inheritance had been divided. Chloe, a practical sort, received the farm, land, and all. I had been given a collection of abstract artwork and a small trust fund. Each brushstroke, each canvas, seemed a monument to an unknown world. The thought of it all felt difficult.
