A Summer Dream

My names Amelia and this is the story about how I found and lost $20,000. I suppose I should probably start at the beginning. It starts on a beautiful summer day in July. Lincoln is going back to normal after the beloved 4th of July festivities that happen in the town square. It is warm, but it isn’t hot because there is a subtle cross breeze that sweeps over town. My friends and I are at the popular swimming hole: staple rock. We are sitting on the rock drinking wine coolers and relaxing under the summer sun. My friend Julie stands up abruptly and asks, “can we go? I’m getting hot.”
