Maybe more if he cleaned it up and took good photos.
That was like nine hours of Uber Eats driving.
Not bad for something he'd found on a curb.
He closed the box and leaned back on the couch, looking at the items spread across his coffee table.
He knew he should take photos now, list it tonight, let it run for a week.
Instead, he reached for the remote and turned on the TV.
He was halfway through a two-and-a-half-hour YouTube essay about some book he'd never read when he heard it.
A soft thump from the coffee table.
He looked over.
The hat had tipped onto its side.
Will stared at it for a moment, trying to figure out how that had happened.
He hadn't touched it.
There it was, though, lying on its side.
The brim facing him like an open mouth.
Weird, he whispered.
He reached over and set the hat upright again.
He looked at it, then at the TV, then back at the hat.
It stayed where he'd put it.
Whatever, he muttered to himself and went back to YouTube.
Will was woken up later that night by the sound of something moving.
