Shortly After The Beginning.

First, there was the beginning. Shortly after that however, was a little harder to name. It wasn't the start of a chapter, and it certainly was far from the end, So, for now we will call it 'what happened next'. The 'what happened next' in question was $0.04, or four cents, if you prefer. And that happening was quite unexpected. You see, the what happened next was only a little over twenty-four hours later than the beginning. Between the beginning and the what happened next, the girl and the cat had gone about their day and night, slept and ate and so on, and when she lifted the lid of the laptop just seconds before the what happened next, she did not expect to find four cents. What a pleasant surprise.
