Summary
Greg's a broken hearted, out of work actor, temping as a night security guard at the British Museum. He only has a few days until an all important audition, but he can't dredge up any emotions beyond anger and sadness from his recent breakup. That is, until he makes a very strange discovery in the new Greek Mythology exhibition, in a simple wooden box.
He bends down, getting right up in what he assumes is going to be where the camera is, and opens the doors all at once.
“Oh! Hello!” the face startles.
Greg ignores its greeting, ignores the fuzzy funny grin it’s giving him – all gap toothed and enthusiastic. Ignores the way the skin at the corners of its eyeliner-and-smokey-eyeshadow-daubed eyes crinkles genuinely, or the soft looking texture of the greying auburn short beard.
It is frighteningly realistic.
