Krit's Islander Career

5': Box Of Catastrophe

Krit just froze.

That is apparently the exact same cube he saw in that weird dream, So why is it here? Why does it even exist?

And it's just doing the exact same things it did in the dream, No sound, No movement, Just two eyes staring into Krit's soul... But this time, Krit can move.

And he didn't even feel much fear, He just felt confused and upset, After all the unfortunate events, This thing just decided to jump out of the dream and haunt him in reality?

"I'm done."

For the first time, He felt so much hate for something on the island, And that just drove his legs towards the cube, He has to see why, So he picked it up and had a closer look...

...And it was just a green, Wooden box with stickers as eyes. Krit threw it back onto the ground and looked around. Nobody was there, And Krit had never told anyone about his dream, So how would this work out as a prank?

Feeling his brain overloaded by questions again, Krit snapped back to reality and, Well, He has a debt to worry about.

Grabbing his stuff and stuffing them into the truck, He looked at the box...

"Well, Might as well..."

He picked it up and placed it in the storage space, Then just drove off to the beach. It is a box after all, Maybe it'll be handy for later...

Surprisingly, He was not alone on the shores that day, There's a ferry at the port. Krit walked over and greeted the captain, Who seemed to be the only one from the ferry.

"Hey, Uh, Captain."

"Huh? Oh, hi there! I'm Howard, man of the ferry, may I help you?"

"Man of the ferry... Right..."

"My name is Krit and, I've never seen you before?"

"Ah, right, I got here just today! I've been sailing around the seas, looking for islands, I'm making a lot of money from writing geological reports."

"Ah, I see..."

"...So uh, you have a fishing rod, are you a fisherman?"

"Mh-hm."

"Nice, how about I give you a free ride around the island? Maybe you could find some bigger fish?"

"Huh..."

He felt a bit skeptical about the offer, But the guy is smiling pretty genuinely, Doesn't seem like a bad person...

"Thanks man, That sounds nice."

"No problem, just get on, and we'll see how it'd go."

And so, Krit brought his fishing rod, bait and the box onto the ferry. He wanted to use the box as a fish container. It felt refreshing and pretty exciting to see the waving sea from a different perspective...
