I walked into a sketchy Chicago pawn shop just looking for a cheap watch to wear to a job interview, but I found the one thing I thought was buried six feet under. My dad’s wedding ring was sitting there in the glass case, the same one the hospital swore went missing the night he d*ed. But when I pointed at it, the clerk didn’t ask for cash. He looked terrified, leaned over the counter, and whispered five words that unraveled my entire life and made me question whose funeral I actually attended.

Then came the phrase that froze the room: “The compassionate option is $150.” I watched her world crumble. I’m a retired teacher on a pension; I should have looked away.
