“Anika walked to the workbench, which was flanked by two metal cabinets. She opened the cabinet on the left and spotted sundry items—nails, paint, and whatnot—that one expected to see. Even the rat poison with skull and crossbones on the bag made sense.

They couldn’t search for a precedent or two and hope that would be sufficient.”
― John M Vermillion, Packfire
