From the moment she'd seen the attic, Emily felt drawn to it. The previous owners had insisted it was empty, but something – a gut feeling – told her otherwise. When she finally pried open the locked panel behind the chimney, the hidden room revealed itself. It was filled with boxes, their contents unknown.

She had to know. She took a deep breath, and started digging, ignoring the dust that coated her face and the shadows that danced in the corners. Each box presented a new mystery. She would not back down.

One box held a stack of letters, their faded ink filled with secrets. Another, a collection of curious instruments. She felt a burning curiosity, a driving need to understand everything. She sat down, pulling a chair to her and began to read.
