    You’re thanked for that goodness!

    My wife used to handle library returns. They had to examine each book for signs of bed bugs, and found interesting things used as bookmarks. Sometimes money, personal notes, or random business cards.

    But I tell you, no story beat: A razor blade. Yep. Just fell right out from the pages. Naked and sharp. How’s that for chaotic evil??

    (Thankfully nobody was harmed. Glad they all wore gloves!)
