Under the end of a table, I spy a box. It's the kind that bulk paper comes in, open top with the cover missing.

Inside are a dozen bowling and volleyball trophies.

Taped to the box's exterior is a piece of lined notebook paper. In a girlish script is written 4 letters -- "FREE".

I pick up the box and head to the front table, where two teen girls sat.

"I'm taking your free box," I say.

They don't say OK, they just kind of stare at me. They don't object, either, so I take my box of faux gold and marble treasures and drive away.

More trophies! (smile)

Richard Brautigan wrote a book with you in mind: "Willard and his Bowling Trophies"
