You grip the steering wheel tightly at a red light, staring at the self-serve car wash across the street. Dollars exchange for quarters as customers spend money on a seemingly endless loop.
In the passenger seat next to you is a large stack of bills...but not dollars.
"I have the right tools. I could break into those coin deposits" you reason. Elaborate plans form in your mind. Stress and Burden could release their grip with this untraceable jackpot...
"HONK!"
Fantasy dissipates as the driver behind you brings you back to reality.
Accelerating, you choose integrity...this time.

Clouds
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. It was a sight to behold, and one that the people of the small town of Primrose had grown used to over the years. Some believed the clouds only appeared purple because of how they blended with the night sky. Others were not so sure. The color was pronounced, and far too vivid to be merely some refraction of light.
