A letter arrives from an executor you have never met. Dana — your roommate for four years, a stranger for twenty-four — has left you the contents of a storage unit off Route 9. Inside is a footlocker with a five-letter word on the lock, and the answer to a question you have never been able to ask.

  • There is no way to lose. Nothing is scored and there is no timer.

Worth knowingContains a death, and a friendship that ended without anybody saying why.
