got the whole world in his hands
It wasn't November yet or anything, but the idea had got into Coin's head and he was inclined to run with it. People marked time because they were people, so that was what he was going to do, and this would be the first time he'd ever done it so he wanted to be sure of what he was doing.
Even the bookshelf here was helpful. Today it had seen fit to stuff itself with titles like That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget and The Party Planner Celebrates Life's Milestones and even Start Your Own Event Planning Business, which was somewhat less appropriate but might still have something in it of use.
That was the one he was going through, anyway, with considerable purpose, when a few scraps of paper fell out. They seemed to contain a cake recipe, which was fair enough, until he looked at the next one and saw the picture of what it was supposed to look like.
"Huh," he said.
