The librarian, Mrs. Periwinkle, showed him the box. It was small, leather-bound, and covered in intricate carvings. They’d discovered it during a routine check of the oldest section of the library's storage.

"Do you know anything about this, Mr. Abernathy?" she asked, her voice brimming with anticipation.

He examined the box, his fingers tracing the worn leather. He turned it over, looking at the latch. He shook his head, once. The carvings were nice, he supposed. He let out a sigh.

“No, I don’t,” he said, his voice flat. He returned the box to her, and went to organize the periodicals.
