Instead of a packing label, a note had been taped across the top: "A Mysterious Journey Awaits You."
The husband and the wife looked at each other.
"You sure you didn't order anything?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Everything I got off eBay already came in."
She poked the corner of the box as if she expected it to squish. "They really beat the hell out of it, wherever it came from."
"And it's soaked. It's probably going to start to get moldy soon," he said.
He threw it into the recycling bin, on top of a wealth of glass bottles, told himself that he didn't hear any sounds coming from inside, and went back into the house to get ready for "A Game of Thrones."
