Mysterious black box
An unopened small black box sits in the middle of the table; awaiting a recipient.
I look around the room to see if an owner will come claim this box but no one comes.
I cautiously investigate the box and see that it is not addressed to anyone, no tag, no indication of who it is for.
Curiously, I ponder if it was left there for me to find.
But who would leave such a gift? Or is it a threat?
I have no enemies but I have friends and a lover of whom might leave such a gift.
A doting stranger perhaps or a creepy stalker, I’ve had quite a few.
I gaze perceptually at this unexpected surprise.
What should I do?
