Repose

[After this]

The local newspaper thrown onto all the lawns in the neighborhood is the same thickness and weight shrink-wrapped in plastic. This week (under the name of some hapless idiot from the high school running the coffee run or making tea in order to get what the pretentious call an 'internship' and in Jack's day was bloody work experience) there's a half-column. Pitiful, if it had been paid for by an advertizer footing it, but they aren't so it isn't.

It reads like a teenager writing about a place she's not old enough to walk over the threshold but it's about a bar, in town and breathing close enough toward complimentary that it doesn't look like it belongs in the paper Jack edits. There might be one or two well-placed words (red pen, son?) but the next page is a diatribe on marketing in general, so you win some, you lose some.]

Right, you heartless bastards, you've two weeks to make a killing off Christmas. Go and do your worst.

Now I have 'Peaches' stuck in my head.

AND YOU ALL WILL TOO.

WATCH IT. THE HYPNOTIC NINJAS, THEY WILL HUG YOUR SOUL. (and steal your peaches)

[The bottle is delivered in a small blue box, left for her at the school. A note inside explains that it was a gift from an anonymous benefactor purchased at Repose Antiques. It is wrapped neatly in white tissue paper. The tag, which reads Plique-à-Jour Enamel Bottle, 19th cent is still attached.

The bottle is cool to the touch. It remains cool even after holding it for long periods, and the scent of the remnants of its old perfume, to the owner, seem to change all the time.]

[The book comes in a solid grey box, dropped off at Luke Henry's door after asking around for his residence. The note also indicates it was purchased at Repose Antiques by an anonymous gifter.

The silver is heavy, and the book is locked securely - though it may open for the right hands at the right moment.

The basket of flowers is ornamental and suggests mourning, but there is something comfortable and soothing about holding it in your hands. The attribution tag reads merely, Prayer Book, German, 18th Cent., Locked.]
