The prompt: Digging Up Your Digs—500 years from now, an archaeologist accidentally stumbles on the ruins of your home, long buried underground. What will she learn about early-21st-century humans by going through (what remains of) your stuff?

The Collector

too much food and too much booze.
Too many games and too much fun
for a house of only one.

(potions, lotions, bracelets, rings)
directing to another track—
something that could love her back.
