The Ritual

Six

I waited for the two hours to go by, But it didn't go by as fast as I wished for it to. It took it's time, walking like a old lady looking for her spectacles. I just wanted to open the box but I couldn't. Many of the dead came into my office, with the reports of their deaths and others. I had hid the box under my desk, next to my right foot. The envelope was settled on top of the brown box.

One and a half hour went by

Thirty more minutes to go

I started to organize my room. When I was done, I only had ten minutes left in my hands until I left. It felt like when I was in school, always desperate to go back home. I started to hum to random songs that I remembered from when I was alive.

Ten minutes went by

I dashed to get everything. My crossbody already had everything inside so I just had to grab that, the box, and the envelope. I stuffed the envelope inside my crossbody and put on my crossbody. I got my keys and then walked out of the building in a hurry to get home and open the mystery package.
