The discovery sent a thrill through David, a current that made him want to leap with happiness. He dug it out of the ground in a frenzy, his hands moving quickly. He didn't even remember the act of burying it. How utterly magnificent!

He practically ripped the lid off. The contents were surprisingly well-preserved. There was a handwritten note, a mix tape, and a small, leather-bound book with blank pages.

He picked up the note first, his eyes scanning the words. A smile played on his lips. This was going to be fantastic.
