Amongst Great Grandfather’s box of old things was:
A carved wooden duck
A paper-weight
An oddly shaped knife with a dancing man engraved on the hilt
Three paperback books
An unmarked bottle of what I presumed to be wine, but did not have the courage to open
An antique toy bi-plane
A drawing of a giraffe
Four different keys with no indication as to what they opened
An old leather notebook filled with indecipherable scrawls and also containing…
A brown paper envelope, upon which was written:
INSTRUCTIONS AS TO MY RESURRECTION IN THE EVENT OF MY DEATH
