Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
The sound of the delivery truck's horn pierced the quiet Edmonton neighborhood, shattering the peaceful afternoon silence. You stepped out to the porch, the package in your arms feeling heavy, not just in weight but in the unspoken weight of uncertainty. As you carried the box inside, the smell of the cardboard and the faint scent of tape lingered, a tangible reminder of the transaction that had just ended. You set the package on the dining table, the cardboard box's lid creaking as you opened it. Inside, the item was wrapped in layers of protective foam, its once-shiny surface now marred by dents and scratches.
