Mr. Shama placed some goods into a large bag for a customer waiting at the counter. He wrapped up the bag, took some money from the customer’s outstretched hand, provided some change and escorted the customer to the door, closing and locking it behind the departing customer. He then flipped the “Closed For Business” sign on the window and pulled down the blinds. He walked over to the stairs leading to the basement, clicked a light switch and descended the stairs. He unlocked a solid wooden door to reveal a basement lined with bookcases, groaning with books of every shape and size. Mr. Shama hummed to himself as he unlocked a large black box with strange symbols stenciled on the outside that he took from a large cabinet.
