The Package from Myself

I started a new rule: No spending money for a whole week. Day one?

Easy. Day two? Still fine. Day three, I checked my bank

app. Balance: $0.00 I panicked. I hadn’t bought anything.

Then a notification popped up. “Thanks for your purchase.” Purchase of what?

I checked my email. Receipts. Hundreds of them. All time-stamped 2:17 AM.

The final receipt just said: “You’ll understand when it arrives.” Doorbell rang.

I opened the door. It was me. Holding a package.
