I Hired a Crew to Fix My Roof, They Found a Hidden Box in My Attic – But What They Tried to Do With It Left Me Stunned

At seventy-four, I thought I was just buying a fix for leaks. I didn’t expect what they’d uncover up there, or the choice their find would push me to make.

My name’s Leona, I’m 74, and a widow for nearly a decade. My husband Abram passed suddenly, a heart attack, right in the backyard while pruning the shrubs. One moment, he was muttering about dandelions; the next, he was gone. No children, no family left, just me and this old groaning house.

It’s odd, in a painful way. I’ve kept busy. My peonies, my sourdough, the library volunteer hours where teens sigh when I suggest Austen—but nothing quiets the emptiness. And in that stillness, you notice things.

The house murmurs its wear: the creak of aging wood, the steady drip-drip of water through a roof I couldn’t afford to mend.

Every rainstorm, I’d lie awake, clutching my blanket, staring at the ceiling. Would tonight be the night it collapses? Would I wake under a pile of wet tiles?
