He wrestled with the attic door, the old wood resisting his efforts. He finally managed to shove it open, revealing a dark, musty space. He wasn’t in the mood.

The attic was crammed with forgotten items. Old furniture, dusty boxes, and piles of who-knew-what. He ran a hand through his hair, already feeling the unwelcome heat of the space.

He kicked at a particularly large box, the cardboard giving way to reveal a jumble of broken toys and forgotten trinkets. "Wonderful," he said under his breath, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He was late for a movie.
