Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1271: Boxes Getting Away

Long day, all that stuff. Working and unpacking and working and unpacking and moving boxes and unpacking, then losing boxes as unpacking only to find that they absconded with other boxes and then you’re chasing down boxes to stop them from getting away as you need their delicious, delicious contents in order to continue on with your life, but they keep escaping your ironclad grasp and so you know not what to do about the whole situation.

Of course yo-u could just laugh and accept the loss, but you’re not going to know what was in those boxes until you unpack all the other boxes. Something that is very important could be in one of those boxes that got away and you won’t know until you’ve unpacked all the others and by that point it will be too late, and then what? You can’t just start and hope that you get a hold of whatever it was that was important as there’s no chance at that point.

Well, there is a chance, but it is quite insignificant than had you just gone and chased after the boxes when they escaped their confines.

So you gotta go chase after them the moment they escape their confines. You need to go on a hunt and you need to go prepared. you need to make sure that you go into this hunt all stealthy and set up traps and deceptions so as to be able to corral the boxes and then go from there.

Of course there could be a bit of a fight on your hands, what with the tenacious nature that any receptacle can hold and all, but it is a fight you must engage with so as to be able to succeed. There is no relent until the boxes relent and so you need to make sure you are at the top of your game. You need to be at your peak and you need to make sure you fight to make sure you’re right and the boxes are wrong so they realise this and in their shame allow themselves to be led to where they must go, and then you go from there.

Victory shall be yours and in that victory you shall drink the losses as your gains and you shall know no failure, though what was gained came at the price of loss and it is in that loss where we realise our true value as people, and what it really means to sacrifice to attain something as lives will remain changed and there will be no going back to the old ways. There is no former life to return to, and there is only restlessness.

Anyway the boxes are back and now you can resume unpacking and all that other exiting stuff and it’s all good and life is a little easier, and so you get to those boxes and you unpack those particular ones and all they contain is some stuff you are throwing out.

The time it took to write five-hundred words: 07:24:27

Fun to write. Turned out silly but I don’t mind.

Written at home.
