The Ceiling

The basement’s ceiling appeared to be the same as others, full of cobwebs and rotting wood. There was dust everywhere, so the two were careful to a degree while navigating the basement. When the homeowners pulled the wallpaper, however, they were in for the surprise of their life.

They noticed a suitcase lodged between the sub-floor and the ceiling. It was stuck in the rafters, so the man had to exert some effort to retrieve the suitcase. It was green and apparently light even if it was made out of metal. “It could be full of pictures of the previous owners”, the wife thought. On the other hand, the husband was hoping to find old sports cards that he could sell for a premium. They pried the suitcase open, and neither of them was right.
