A records clerk who spent thirty years organizing old newspapers at the archive closes her eyes and returns to 1983!
Her mind is filled with the price charts of the next forty years:
Which edition of the Monkey stamp will skyrocket in which year, when treasury bonds will be allowed to circulate, when subscription certificates go on sale, and which wasteland will be demolished and redeveloped.
She scrambles to hoard what others consider wastepaper, and won't even give a second glance to the iron rice bowl everyone else is fighting over.
In this life, she has only one goal: to get ahead of the times and pull her whole family out of the pits of fate, one by one.
And while she's at it, she'll pick up every piece of gold lying around!
