He stared at the wet, muddy container, frustration bubbling to the surface. His knuckles were white as he grabbed it. What right did this…this ghost of the past have to disrupt his day? His entire existence? He wanted to scream.

He threw the capsule into the back of his truck. He would decide later what to do with this damn thing. The rain intensified, mirroring the storm brewing within him.
