100WCGU: The Red Box

100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups - Week 35 - The Red Box



The Red Box

by

Robert Steadman


Last night I was a contestant on a game show.

I was doing really well. The low numbers disappeared. I was left with only high value boxes.

"Are you ready for the question?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

"£50,000 - Deal or No Deal?"

"No deal!"

The audience whooped and cheered.

"Do you want to do the swap?"

"No."

I was left with one box. This was my box.

I nervously held the tab before ripping it open.

What had I won? Would it change my life?

I flipped the lid open and looked in to find my prize: Noel Edmond's decapitated head.
