A giggle bubbled up from Leo's chest as he wrestled the attic door open. Sunlight spilled into the shadowy space, illuminating a layer of forgotten things. His hands tingled with excitement. He'd been renovating the house for months and now, finally, he'd found a real treasure hunt.

He unearthed a stack of vintage vinyl records. He whistled appreciatively, already imagining them spinning on a turntable, filling his living room with music.

He unearthed a time capsule, a small metal box. The lock was rusted shut, but he had a feeling it was filled with secrets he couldn’t wait to uncover. He scrambled for a screwdriver, his mind already spinning with anticipation. His muscles felt alive, taut with the prospect of what lay ahead.

He clapped his hands in a spontaneous burst of glee. This was going to be the best day ever.
