"No way," Maya muttered, kicking at the freshly turned soil. Finding this thing, right in the middle of her grandmother's rose garden, felt like an invasion. She'd been in a foul mood all week, and this just added fuel to the fire. Her grandmother would have loved this. Everyone *loved* her grandmother. Maya hated the thought of people knowing her private thoughts. She yanked the lid off, her breath catching in her throat. A cassette tape. With a sigh, she tossed it back into the hole, the hole that wasn't hers to fill in the first place.
