Riverside 20: Another day, another disaster

[bc56]

The painting looks a lot more sinister when examined closely. The man is staring hungrily at the woman, who looks less than thrilled to be there. But June soon passes on to examining the mushroom. With a little force, it pops free of the shelf... And breaks apart. A small silver capsule, about the size of a film canister, falls out. It's got a lid that could be unscrewed. The book, if after that fiasco June is still interested in reading it, seems pretty normal. There are small brown stains on the edges of its pages, which otherwise seem in very good shape for such an old book. The edges are pretty intact. Intact enough to give someone a serious paper cut.
