What's in the Box?! by Randy Hunt

[TEN MINUTE]
After a bizarre one-sided argument (of sorts), Kerri has broken up with Ben, handed him a box, and sent him on his way with instructions to not open the box until 6:00 PM. Stumped, Ben visits his friend Todd to try to get his thoughts on the whole thing, all the while trying to figure out what is in the box.
