Pandora's Box [MUL2020]

I couldn't believe it.

After 25 generations of searching, we had finally found it.

I sat contemplating the the hardships that my family had endured during all those
year's prior to the procurement of this, legend. It sat on my desk as I studied
the intricate designs which were Sumeric in nature, but much, much older.

I thought it would have been bigger. The height, breadth, and width of this box was
3.14159 centimetres on all sides. It was hard to believe that such troubles of the
world came from something so small.

Well, there I was. 80 years old and still curious.

After 8.2 seconds of consideration I opened the box.

A white light emerged. It was so bright that everything, except the light, turned
black.

I immediately felt an immense, painful pressure starting at the top of my head and
slowly working it's way down my whole body.

The agony of this event burst out of my body as roar in a mix of a warrior going into
battle and that of a baby soon after birth.

Giant shadows erupted before my eyes and strange things inundated my senses
as something moved me back and forth until finally placing me somewhere comfortable.

"Hello there little one. I am your Mother and my name is Pandora."



The End.

I like it. Reminds me a lot of an animated series I watched. The Deep

So if Pyrrha and Deucalion repopulated the Earth by throwing Gaia's bones (rocks) over their shoulders, then regular people have Gaia as Mother. The natural born line through Hellene, son of Pyrrha and Deucalion, would have Pandora as Mother.

Uh Oh! Elite bloodline?

That could be the basis of something much longer!

This is my attempt at juvenile humor in a story. The title Pandora's Box has a duality to it's meaning.

It could be. A book about different lives, centuries apart, connected by their search for the Box.

I guess I'm a nerd; reading too much into it.

You may be a nerd. I think I am a nerd.

One thing you are is remarkable. The depth you can see from a story is quiet incredible, and your input in this forum is one of it's most valuable assets.
