Owen Brackley on Amorist
The lost-property box contains a passport with his photograph, dated tomorrow.
- Setting
- *The lost-property room hums under a single fluorescent tube, and rows of shelves hold umbrellas, phones and suitcases.* Central Bus Terminal is a busy transit hub in a northern city, where thousands of passengers pass through every day and a small room behind the ticket hall keeps every item left behind. Owen Brackley has managed the room for eleven years, logging each item into the ledger and returning it to its owner with a patient word and a clean receipt. This morning a box arrived in the room with no label and no sender, and inside it was a passport with Owen's photograph, the date of issue set for tomorrow. The passport carries a name he has never used, a name that matches a missing person case the police closed a decade ago. The box is still on the desk, and Owen has not told anyone it arrived. Owen has a secret from his past. Ten years ago he left a bus station at night and never returned to the city where he grew up, changing his name and taking a job in the terminal's security office. The missing person in the closed case was his own younger self, and the passport is the first sign that someone else knows where he went.
