The Curse of Gold and a Nihilist's Fortune
A narrator recalling youth in Russia, drawn to nihilism, is ordered to poison a minister, then inherits $100,000 in America. She hides the fortune in gold, fears discovery, moves locations, and endures a life of exile to avoid danger while laboring as a factory worker and eventually marrying. The gold haunts her, she dreads its curse on her children, and labor remains her peace.
