Leesa's Advent
“As a matter of fact, I'm glad you're early. I have something here I think you'll find quite interesting. Pull your chair up close.”
Leesa lifted the old cushioned chair she'd sat on the last time she was here and set it in front of the desk, next to the professor's. Sitting down, she was astonished to see what looked to be a very real skull resting on a velvet cloth in the middle of the desk. The skull glowed a dull yellow in the candlelight, like a leftover Halloween decoration.
“Is that thing real?” she asked.
“Oh, yes. Very real. And very special. I call him Yorick.” He chuckled, looking embarrassed. “A poor joke, I know.”
