Writing Prompt: Inside the Box was…..something interesting
What could be inside an unmarked box?
Have you ever had the experience of finding a box, an ordinary looking box, with no address label, no marking, as to what is inside the box? I have had the experience of locating a box at home and then trying to figure out exactly what is inside the box. It is really exciting, as I tried to guess its contents. I picked up the box, trying not to be too rough while handling it, just in case there were fragile items inside.
After five minutes of trying to imagine what the contents of the box could be, I finally opened the plain brown cardboard box, at my parent’s home to find a treasure. It was a collection of photos taken out by my father from decades ago. It had old black and white photos, that were stuck and faded, photo negatives, that were stuck together. It was a pleasant surprise and the mystery of the unmarked box was solved.
Have you had similar experiences of finding boxes that were unmarked and then it is a guessing game to imagine what could be inside the box? Use this writing prompt to recall and record those moments when you found a mystery box and it was an exciting experience for you. Did you find a treasure, an heirloom or something utterly ridiculous in an unmarked mystery box?
