Excerpt from Cleopatra's Mystery Box

'Put your hand inside my box and tell me what you feel.'
It was the first time Cleopatra had invited Andrew back to her house. Her father was out west on a field trip, tracking desert lizards, and her mother and younger sister were down the coast for the weekend. They were sitting on her bed, he cross-legged at the foot, and she nestled at the head in a cloud of velvet and patchwork cushions. Her Egyptian eyes watched him intently and her porcelain face was so stern it simply had to be fighting back a smile.
'Is this foreplay?' he asked, hoping to make her crack.
She pursed her purple lips.
'It's a game, ' she said eventually.
'What kind of game?'
'My game.'
'So, you've played it before?'
'Well, it wouldn't be my game if I hadn't, would it?' She frowned. 'You can ask pointless questions or you can play. It's up to you.'
'I want to play.'
'Just put your hand inside and tell me what you feel. If you guess correctly, you can ask me to do something for you.'
He stared into her dark brown eyes, full of childish mischief and timeless mystery, then dropped his gaze to the box in her hands.

"The thirteen stories included in the book will be ones you remember, and that, friends, is a sign of a good short story collection...If this is your first taste of Cameron Trost, you've come to the right place. I will remember the name." - Bruce Blanchard, Goodreads
