The Inheritance

The Inheritance by Rob Rhoades Madison woke up that morning and proceeded to start her day like every other day. She got up, started the coffee, got dressed, made breakfast, and then would sit and watch the news while eating her breakfast. She was unemployed currently due to Covid-19 and its impact on the economy. She had checked for jobs, but there were none to be had or at least ones she would consider. The highlight of her day was waiting for the postal worker to drop off her mail. She had been expecting her much needed unemployment check, which had yet to arrive. Today's mail brought something unexpected. There was a large brown envelope. She could not recall ever receiving an envelope like that unless it was from the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes promising you could be a winner.
