The Cage of Schrödinger's Bird

A silver cage suspended between life and death, now occupied by Malcolm in the half-living, half-dead form of a bird.

An untarnished silver-backed hairbrush whose unbending bristles demand one hundred strokes and promise beauty without end.

An empty bottle of cut glass and tarnished silver that preserved youth by spending the wearer's remaining years.

A red-and-gold guardian lion commissioned to keep wickedness outside, but determined to confront dishonesty within its own household.

A curious black bell whose chime calls an impossible road shaped by the deepest desire of whoever rings it.

A flowered tea caddy with a painted heron that crosses its landscape one stolen dream—and one cup—at a time.
