He began grabbing boxes, shoving them toward the edge of the attic door. He would do it fast. The sooner it was done, the better. He didn't have time for this nonsense.

He found a stack of old magazines, and without a second thought he just tossed them down the stairs. That’s what he would do with most of this junk.
