I love this post! What an incredible thing. (Also made me think of the fantastic book/film Millions.)

What an amazing true story. I was thinking random act of kindness in these tough times first, then criminal situation. The way each individual looking at that money was conflicted .. wanting some of those bundles knowing how much difference that would make to them yet all not wanting to be seen as greedy, selfish or touching marked money or possibly some kind of social experiment. Fascinating human interaction 😀

What a great read, Zoe! And yes what a brilliant hook for a story. My brain is now popping with questions about who, what and why? Excellent story fodder and fascinating around human behaviour. I hope this has given you a sparkle about writing and stories again. Sometimes we do lose it so it's fantastic that you've remembered the deeper reasons that you're so called to writing. Also, if you hear more about this we want to know! Janelle

I really love your “Monday Muse” but I couldn’t afford keeping it. I’m really appreciative of everything you share on social media and with your newsletter. I’ve got ebook copies of your books. I hope to be on the list for “Monday Muse” again soon. I’m glad you also shared this story about the bag of money. I would be curious to know the backstory of it, but it’s also interesting to think of the possible stories inspired by it, just like you mentioned.

I’m intrigued to know if they found the owner of the cash. Was it stolen, was it a job & something had gone wrong 🤔 I bet it was the talk of the town. Love it.
