      The Purple Mystery Box

      The doorbell rings. Nicholas Kelsey rushes to the door, and he throws it open. He looks around, but no one is there. He slams it shut. That was the fourth time today he thinks. He walks to the living room and sits down on the couch next to his girlfriend, Olivia Coy.

      Still no one? she asks.

      He shakes his head.

      Are you going to take that job in California?
