The service was solemn and dignified, albeit scarcely attended. Afterwards, my uncle's lawyer spoke to me briefly to ensure I was coming to see him the next day to deal with his will.
When I got there, I was briefly surprised to find I was alone, until the lawyer explained I was the sole heir.
"But there is a complication. Your uncle wanted to ensure you were, quote, 'worthy' of his estate, and insisted you must solve a puzzle to receive it."
He slid a page towards me. I looked at it.
"2?"
"Correct. Your uncle didn't specify difficulty, thankfully."
