What's inside the case?
A surprise?
Money?
A crime?Open it
Have a look
We might be rich
We might just have been caughtThe black suddenly drawn open
The sudden feeling of suspense
Just managing to cope
It's starting to get intenseOpen
It's open
Let's see
Don't close it
See what's thereWhat is it?
A surprise?
Money?
A crime?It's hard to decifer
It's hard to take now
Close it
It's getting too muchShut
It's closed
Finally
Time to leave
Time to get awayLet's run as far as possible
Let's not be scared
Let's stay calm
Let's just hideGet away
The guilt I feel is unreal
Run
NooooooStop
