“The world was to me a secret, which I desired to discover.”Mary Shelley · Quote T-Shirt

It's 2 a.m. and you're eleven links deep. You started with a question about sourdough.

Victor means himself. The same sentence goes on to the girl he grew up with: "to her it was a vacancy, which she sought to people with imaginations of her own." Two ways to meet the world, in one line.

The word “secret,” is cut out of the bar. No ink goes on it, so the shirt itself shows through.

Wear it to the museum. Stay until closing.
