By the time someone, that would be you, finds this message in a bottle (Jack Daniels, by the way), I'll most likely be dead. Probably best not to ask why, as I'll be too dead to explain in, but the small box that's hopefully still attached to this? Yeah don't lose that. It's important.
Bury it, hide it, give it to your dog to guard, but make sure you know where it is at all times.
Yours,
Lucas Flynn.
