The Fortune
And The Cookie
She felt something fall to the floor as she pulled her clothes from the community dryer
Tossing the warm pile into the wire basket, she turned to find a wad of cash, bound with weathered rubber bands.
She quickly stashed the cash and hurried to her room. As she began to count the cash, a dark figure appeared outside her door - knocking.
She stood completely silent, holding the money - until the figure called out, “delivery.”
As she ate her fried rice, she opened her fortune cookie. Which read; “a windfall is coming soon.”

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
