The sun is long since set. Tired, weary from the journey, you finally find respite along the way. You sit before the fireplace, relaxed, and rest your aching body.
They said not to open the box. You take it out of your bag; just to look. It feels your eyes. Gold trim against the cold, carved stone. You have no idea how old it is. When it catches the light of the fire, it seems to wink at you.
It couldn't hurt to open it. It's just a box. A beautiful box. An interesting box. You can't even venture a guess as to what might be in it. As your fingertips feel the ornate carvings along the stone, you know that you have to open it. You might regret it, but you open it.
Welcome, to PANDORA'S BOX.
