All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.
It was a sweltering summer day, the kind that made the air thick and heavy, as if it could suffocate you. And yet, there I was, trudging through the scorching heat with a heavy bronze box in my arms.
The bronze box was an heirloom, passed down through generations in my family. It was said to hold a powerful magic, one that could grant the holder any wish their heart desired. But it came with a warning – whoever opened the box would also unleash a great evil into the world.
My ancestors had always kept the box hidden, away from prying eyes and curious hands. But now, I had been entrusted with the task of returning it to its rightful place – a hidden cave deep in the forest.
As I made my way through the dense trees, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The weight of the box seemed to grow heavier with each step, and I could almost hear whispers and whispers coming from within.
Finally, I reached the cave and carefully placed the box inside. As I turned to leave, a sudden gust of wind knocked me off balance. I stumbled and accidentally opened the lid of the box.
In that moment, I felt a surge of power course through me, and I knew that I had made a grave mistake. The evil that had been trapped inside the box was now free, and it was up to me to stop it before it consumed the world.
