- Description: Slight glimmer in the dirt catches his eye Bending down, he lifts it. A dusty, beaten up golden locket. He clicks the mechanism. Nothing. Clicks again. And memories rush out.

Slight glimmer in the dirt catches his eye  
Bending down, he lifts it.  
A dusty, beaten up golden locket.  
He clicks the mechanism.  
Nothing.  
Clicks again.  
And memories rush out.
