Little Black Book
Archie walked up the creaky stairs to his stronghold, the attic. Up there he could nod in his rocking chair and smoke his pipe in silent contemplation over daily events and past times gone. The attic had a smell of old oak and above him the timber beams had been overtaken with spiderwebs and dust. Filled with storage boxes that had been left unopened for decades, the place was in a disorganised mess. A workbench stood in a dark corner strewn with different sizes of blown glass creations and half-finished pieces. Opposite, shelves of books and antiquated gadgets and instruments covered an entire wall. Next to his rocking chair was a wooden treasure chest. A vase on top held forlorn tulips that hung, weeping, over the edge. The chest mostly served as a table for his tobacco, pints and papers.
