Vancouver, Washington From all the strange gifts Samuel has received over the years from family and friends, an envelope that contained a letter and a sum of $20,000 in cash left abandoned by the door to only find the lonesome envelope and nothing else. Not even a person in sight walking away from his house, and Samuel thought that was the cherry on top of strange coincidences. He was glad his wife and two daughters were off on vacation with their grandmother and brother-in-law down at Long Beach, as Samuel was left behind to take care of the house for the weekend. Of course, he wanted to go but had stacks of paperwork to grade by High school students that barely look-up from their phone screens waiting for his lecture to end. He closed the door and went back inside still holding the envelope with the letter and cash. He opened it reaching for the Letter first.
