She'd thought the attic was empty, just the usual cobwebs and forgotten dust bunnies. Wrong. As she pulled down a dusty box, it burst open, spilling its contents: a child's collection of half-broken toys.

She picked up a worn teddy bear. Its button eye had fallen off and was rattling loose inside. She couldn’t believe the sheer audacity of it. They'd just… left these things? Abandoned them?

Her jaw clenched. She kicked the box across the attic floor. What kind of people would just up and leave their garbage for someone else to deal with? This wasn’t fair.
