When I switched on the bedside lamp, I noticed a tiny object resting on the sheets near my pillow. It looked unusual enough to raise concern, and soon my family gathered around to inspect it with me. Everyone had a different theory, but no one felt confident about what we were seeing.

The uncertainty itself made the moment feel far more dramatic than it probably deserved.
