“You have got to be kidding me”
― Susan Holt, Catching the Last Tram

“Rhonwyn pulled it open. A jumble of objects lay inside: a pair os scissors, more papyrus sheets, a ball of string, and a screwed-up piece of papyrus shoved into the back right corner. Rhonwyn picked up the crumpled papyrus. Something made it heavier than she expected. Her breathing became shallow as she unwrapped it.”
