Vera, the slightly mad penguin and the Box
Vera hadn’t been looking for anything in particular.
But there it was.
A box.
The Box.
It didn’t blink. It didn’t hum. It didn’t promise anything.
Still – something about it felt almost important.
There was a note on the side.
"Do not open."
It looked suspiciously handwritten. Probably by someone dull. Possibly by someone afraid.
Vera hesitated.
She wasn’t especially brave.
Just... curious.
And slightly bored.
And maybe – a tiny bit hopeful.
So,
she opened it anyway.
Little did she know.
It wasn’t what she feared.
It wasn’t what she hoped for.
But it was something.
Something alive. Something blooming.
Color spilled out like laughter.
Petals burst like secrets.
There were spirals in the sky and too many flowers to count.
(Which was good, because Vera wasn’t very good at numbers.)
She blinked.
Twice.
I need to make tea, she said.
And so she did.

"Little did she know, but she opened it anyway.
Because hope is not always wise – just brave."
