Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the kitchen counter. You sat at the small table, sipping your morning coffee, the clink of the mug against the saucer a familiar sound. Outside, the birds sang a morning symphony, a reminder of the simple pleasures that often go unnoticed. You looked around your modest home, the walls lined with books and photos of family, a small but meaningful collection of memories. The clink of coins in the piggy bank caught your attention, a tangible reminder of the financial constraints you faced.
