TWENTY-FOUR

Oh no.

I've lost track of what I'm doing. And how I got where I am.

I'm in the middle of a large empty block of land surrounded by high chicken wire. Nondescript warehouses are beyond the fence, distant. I'm standing on a little path that may have been made by animals. There's a black, burnt-out fireplace with a crate next to it.

I'm carrying a weird gun of some kind. I put it down carefully, not wanting to set it off.

I've also got a large square box with a silver latch. My arm is sore from carrying it. I set it down too.

I sit down on the crate, my hip twinging.

I was thinking about Rowena. But I can't remember what I'm doing.

Sod being old.

I check the box for any markings that might tip me off. Nothing on the lid or sides, but on the bottom is a stencil of a woman's body atop a long serpentine tail. There are words:

'If found return to Serpent Queen.'

Oh yes. It comes back to me. The Serpent Queen. She's in charge now.

But I'm not sure if the words relate to what's in the box, or to me.
