The old farmhouse held many secrets, most of them buried deep in the earth. Evelyn, the new owner, was determined to uncover them. While planting a new garden, she struck something hard. A metal box, buried deep. A time capsule.

The contents were simple, but poignant. A worn teddy bear, a lock of hair, and a note from a child named, Samuel. She felt compelled to know more. She found Samuel's descendants, now adults themselves. She shared the contents of the capsule, and learned the stories behind them.

She felt a surge of warmth at their reactions. The stories were more important than any physical object, and she wanted them to be remembered. She helped them organise a memorial. She wanted to fill the void. This, she felt, was her purpose.
