"Ugh, what *is* this?" David demanded, kicking the time capsule with his boot. He was clearing out the crawlspace, a chore he'd been putting off for months.

He recoiled, his face contorted in a grimace. "Get this thing out of here!" he barked to no one in particular, shoving it back into the crawlspace with a grunt.
