The Amazing Gift of Woo Lai Wah

I can scarcely believe it, to be honest. It is best read in full, so here are the first two paragraphs:

On my way to the basement to do some laundry, I noticed a package on my porch. It was in the usual spot where I ask delivery people to put things if there’s no answer to the doorbell. Strange, though. I wasn’t expecting anything; everything I’d ordered recently had been delivered.

When I came back upstairs I picked it up. It was for me, not my tenants, and it was from Hong Kong. There was no return address and the customs declaration on the side simply read “camera part.” Very strange.

    Marvelous, yes? A true marvel. And way way too weird (in the old Nordic sense) to have been made up.
