One corner had caught against the wood.
I pulled it open to fix it.
Inside were envelopes, old warranty papers, photographs, and a small metal key attached to a faded tag.

She wore jeans and a light-blue sweater.
Dad stood beside her, holding a guitar case.
Behind them was a brick warehouse with a large loading door.
I turned the picture over.
