Mike faced his locker with the grim determination of a soldier heading into battle. He twirled the lock's metallic knob to the right and left with practiced ease, for once managing to remember the combination. Bracing himself for a moment, he gingerly pried open the locker door, expecting the worst.
A heavy Physics textbook and mud-stained sneaker promptly fell from the shelf they were squashed on; only Mike's natural dexterity saving him from being pommeled. The book fell heavily on the floor at his feet with a loud smack, attracting the attention of the students milling around him. He kicked the shoe to one side and stepped over the book, managing to open the door the whole way.
The worst was yet to come. He gazed up at the mess of football equipment, music scores, textbooks, and athletic clothing shoved haphazardly into every corner of the cramped space. Surely it hadn’t been this bad when he’d left for vacation?
"Oh god," he murmured aloud in horror, finally confronting the sight that awaited him. The scent of a forgotten lunch somewhere in the locker's depths began to drift to him over the mess. Shaking his head, Mike stepped back from the open locker, hoping that if he looked away it would magically disappear. The idea of actually having to uncover lost items from the depths seemed an unimaginable task.
