Chapter 20 - THE STEEL ROD
The landscaping rod became an evidence item until Conrad’s case closed.
Then the grounds department asked what to do with it.
Throw it away?
I almost said yes.
The head gardener laughed.
“It’s a steel edging bar. We have twelve.”

Not cursed.
It returned to the equipment shed after inspection.
Months later I saw a groundskeeper using it to reset a garden border.
My body reacted.
Then stopped.
Tool.
Not weapon unless someone makes it one.

I walked past.
No shrine.
