Finding a Forgotten Bill in a Pocket

A small fortune, a big feeling.

You’re getting dressed. Maybe doing laundry. Or grabbing a jacket that hasn’t seen the light of day since last winter. Your hand slides into a pocket and suddenly you feel it. Paper. Folded. Real. Money. It could be a twenty, a five, or even a crumpled dollar, but it doesn’t matter. You weren’t expecting it. And for a moment, you feel rich. Like the universe tossed you a tip for just existing. You look around like someone else might claim it. But it’s yours. A tiny reward wrapped in denim or wool.
