   I have a pretty good idea, but i think there are enough details here for someone to get pretty close. T

   I say the first copy of his manuscript.

   I would say he caught a rat in the NY subway. But honestly, they are too big to stand in such a small box ... So yep, I like the idea of his manuscript.

   Interesting subway news: All those bad, free newspapers are causing floods in the underground by clogging the pumps.

   I say maybe Pizza or Donuts? (But usually these shops sign their packages).

    he brings all his hope in his box
    but where does he go ? ...

    What happened to his other suspender? :O Or is that a strap attached to what he is carrying?

12. Travis | October 27, 2006 11:44 AM

    Yeah I'm pretty sure that's a Kinko box loaded with a freshly printed dissertation or a first novel. Either way he started thumbing through the pages right there. The strap is from his messenger bag.

    Thanks for the explanation! This just cries out for a caption contest, though. I can't think of anything funny, of course. Hm.... [chanting] Pie Jesu domine / dona eis requiem ::WHACK:: (a la Monty Python)

    Having just learned that he was adopted, he prepares to open the files containing information on the parents who gave him up?

    lets just say whatever it is, it used to belong to marsellus wallace.

    I was gonna guess that those are his freshly printed wedding invitations and he's having cold feet.
