Winter Morning at the Bank

Snow drifts past tall windows as a bank teller counts the last bills of the day.

You stand behind the teller's counter as the final customer approaches just before closing. Outside, snow piles quietly against the door, muffling sounds and stretching moments thin. The customer places a folded envelope on the counter, letting your workday slip into unexpected territory. Start by describing the weight of the envelope in your hand.
