The doorbell’s insistent buzzing sliced through the quiet of Amelia’s Saturday morning, making her jump. She stomped over, peering through the peephole. A delivery person, clutching a box addressed to “Mr. Henderson.” Henderson hadn't lived here in over five years.

Amelia wrenched the door open. “This isn’t for anyone here. The last guy with that name moved out ages ago. Wrong address.”

The delivery person, looking unfazed, simply shrugged. “Sign here, please.” He held out the handheld device. Amelia snatched it, scribbling her name with unnecessary force.

Inside, she slammed the door. The box was heavy, and the label bore a curious, unfamiliar logo. She kicked it across the hallway and then returned to her breakfast.
