Old Coffin

It's an ancient coffin

with a broken lid that

is slightly ajar. You

momentarily catch a glint

of something shining inside.

You carefully put your

hand inside the coffin

and try to retrieve the

shining object that

you had glimpsed.

...............................

Something inside

the coffin bit your

hand really hard!

You try to peek

inside the coffin

through the gap

between the coffin's

edge and the lid.

You're barely able to

perceive that something

is squirming inside the

coffin, but it's far too dark

to see anything else.

You don't have the

strength to move

something as heavy

as this coffin's lid...

strength to turn this

coffin upside down.
