The opening line about the smell is such a powerful hook. The mix of 3-in-1 oil, the damp concrete, and old tobacco - you didn’t just describe a smell, you described a whole memory. i love how one sentence dragged him back 20 years, it makes me wonder what’s in that box and what happened 20 years ago. Really immersive writing.
