A Little Black Book

A little black book. Untouched and ostensibly ordinary, its cover was bare. The glossy black leather was unfettered with any etchings or imprints of any kind. On the top-right corner, however, was plastered a bright green star of a sticker with the words “GUARANTEED BESTSELLER” bursting in white. What would be a bold claim in a bookstore was a whim of fortune in this unassuming garage sale you have found yourself meandering by.
