The Reliquary

Wear it where it can be seen and say nothing about it.

Sterling charms in a lined box, with the key to the full alphabet. Someone will ask. That is the point.

Before the words, the marks.

One letter, cast in sterling, on a plain chain. Choose carefully — you will be asked what it means.

No reversals. No meanings printed.

Twenty-six cards. You pull one and decide what it meant afterwards. That is the entire method.

For a door you have not found yet.

Holographic acrylic, matched to no lock we know of. Someone has the door.

Ring it once. Do not ring it twice.

Matte black glass, cut in planes, two inches. It ends a thing rather than beginning one.
