The box

She was given the box, told not to open it. He yelled at her and commanded her but curiosity took hold of her like a chain. It was so small, like a jeweler box, how can it be this harmful.
"Why can't I open this? It's a mere chest of jewelry." She told.
His voice boomed and echoed in the sky. 'Never open it or all of humanity shall fall. I command you not to!'
She rolled her eyes and stalked off, the tiny thing in her palms. After some time she grew tired, sitting under a tree she pondered. 'What is so dangerous inside? Why so small?' She couldn't take it anymore. 'Just a small peak inside then no more.' She sang in her head.
Bringing it up to her eyes she slowly lifted the lid, a slight cream filling the air. Silence as inside swirled black mist. Suddenly it broke loose, terrible things rushed out and filled the sky.
Humanity was lost, Pandora opened the box.
