The First of October · MMXXVI

The Marauder's Calendar

Seventeen days. One square a day, and not a day sooner — so there is no use trying, though I have thought a great deal about whether you would try.

For Kim Lien, who turns thirty-four

The Marauder's Calendar

One square each day from the first of October. Scratch it. Sixteen of them are vouchers, and more of them are money than you would expect. The seventeenth is the vault.

 

Still owed to you

These don't expire on the seventeenth. Cash them in whenever you like, including at an unreasonable hour, including years from now.
