Fragments of old toys, bit of aluminum
A Sylvania flash cube still intact
From a picture taken decades ago
“It’s resurfaced,” Therese said.
“What has?” I inquired.
“The Codex Hyperborea.”
Beads of cold sweat formed on my brow. The Codex Hyperborea was possibly the oldest, rarest and most sought-after grimoire in existence. That knowledge should have never seen the light of day.

Having lost some hopes and strengths along the way
But we keep chooglin’ along, making it work
