The Curse of the Cairo Cat - Chapter One - London, 1928

Oct 13, 2026

Lottie bursts into a darkened corridor at a library-like setting in London in 1928, driven by fear and urgency as someone—close behind—pounds along the steps. She whispers that she must hide, scanning for a suitable place to conceal herself among glass cabinets and display cases filled with ancient trinkets and artifacts. With her heart racing, Lottie quickly darts under a nearby table, rearranges its red velvet curtain, and works to make it look as though no one has been there.
