The Box

My first thought upon seeing the box was: ‘there is a severed head in that box.’ My second thought was: ‘or some puppies’. I closed my eyes and whipped off the lid. I heard a squeak and a rustle, and what did I see when I opened my peepers but half a dozen severed puppy heads, all sniffing and blinking up at me.
