In Mark Ready’s short story "Percival Primble & the Depository of Love," Agatha Jones receives an unexpectedly intriguing letter at her dreary nursing home. The hand-addressed envelope from the enigmatic Mr. Percival Primple, with its promise of a “Depository of Love,” contrasts sharply with her mundane existence and the insincerity of her surroundings. As Agatha clings to memories of her late husband Benny and grapples with the stark realities of her life, the letter becomes a beacon of hope amidst her solitude.
