The elderly lady in the old house at the top of the hill in your neighborhood has passed away and her family are holding an estate sale. While looking around, you find yourself inexplicably drawn to a carved wooden box, half-hidden under yellowing magazines and newspapers and carefully wrapped in a decaying leather belt.
As the latch on the box appears to be broken and won’t open, you’re offered a fair price and you hurry home with your strange new possession. Fully intent on prying the box open with a screwdriver, you place it on your kitchen table only to find the belt has come undone and the latch has mysteriously swung open by itself.What’s inside the box?
Fancy a more competitive writing prompt? The winner of the monthly Novelicious Pinterest Prompt is published in our monthly newsletter, read by lots of industry professionals. Why not give that a try too?
