The unearthed time capsule seemed to mock Susan. She felt a pressure building in her chest. Everything had been so difficult lately, and this felt like a deliberate act. It was an unwelcome reminder of a life she no longer recognized.

She slammed the journal back inside the box. She needed to destroy it, to make it disappear. She grabbed the shovel and began to refill the hole, packing the earth down with ferocious energy.
