Shelved

Shelved is the story of Thomas who dedicates his life to his work as a homegrown historian. In the attic room of his aged family home are a series of shelves, which at the first light of each day, show the contents they held at some point in the house's past.

Thomas seeks to make an accurate record of all he can see in the gloom of dawn before the ghostly visions are swept away, and hopes to present his discovery to the world, until he finds more than he bargains for.

This short story was released as story 2 in the Nostalgia trilogy
