    You wake up, feeling drugged and heavy from the night before when your parents took you to a party. You're covered in your black quilts, lying in your bed in your dark room. You sit up and light a candle. You preferred to use candles right after waking up, as their light soothes your groggy mind. Your dad's new boss was supposed to visit today, and you didn't think it'd be a good idea to let him see you with a hangover. You glance over at your dresser, finding a stack of a million dollars with a note there. You freeze for a moment, then decide to read the note first to calm your confusion, unsure if you're hallucinating or not. The note reads, with beautiful handwriting: "Use it for whatever you wish. I'll send more when you've spent it all. And trust me, I'll know when you do."
