A woman stands in an open field, hand raised. Dollars fly from it in a spiral and light themselves on fire, covering the land in small bonfires. The sun is either rising or setting in the horizon, making the sky a pretty pink and purple and making the river and range seem like it’s caught on fire. Stars dot the sky, and two shooting stars dart across it.

I was suddenly laid off from my job of a decade on New Year’s Day. I sacrificed countless hours responding to emergencies, and leaving family and friends to help people on their worst days. Now we begin to pick up the pieces, and figure out what to do.
