- "FIVE BOXES IN THE DESERT"

- Radioactivity killed my last friend seven years ago. In the beginning, I
- found his death to be the best thing that had happened after the war had
- ended. We had walked in the global desert for years, me and him. The only
- thing he could do was to complain. Day in and day out, he kept on talking
- about his former life. He used to be some kind of electrician, he had a wife
- and two children. He longed for them, he said. I guess he could not accept
- that fact that earth had died, and we were the only survivors. When he fell
- to the ground for the last time, I just left him behind.
- Now, I long for him. At least he was company. I have walked in this
- never ending desert for seven years, alone. Food is no problem, nor is
- water. I always manage to find some. But I cannot stand the loneliness. I
- have no one to talk to, no one to argue with. My feet just walks forward,
- digging themselves into the sand, waiting for a destination to come. But
- there is no such destination, I know that, but I keep on walking. Oh, I
- wish that something could happen.
- Then! Suddenly! I see something! Just a few feet in front of me, in the
- middle of nowhere, the rays from the merciless sun reflects something
- metallic on the ground. Walking closer, I discover that it is a trap door. I
- feel how the hope returns to me. Perhaps this door leads to other people,
- people who live underground - waiting for someone to come visit them.
- But there is no one down there. Just a dirty table, two chairs and three
- shelves on the wall. It is very dark down here, so I have to feel my way
- around. I discover that the shelves has five metal boxes on them. I grab
- them, one at a time, and take them outside. All the boxes have small notes
- on them that begins with the sentence "IN CASE OF..."
- One says "IN CASE OF HUNGER." It contains old cans of beans. I hate
- beans, so I throw the box back down the trap door. Another one says "IN CASE
- OF THIRST." The box is empty, so I kick it away. I examine the box with
- the label "IN CASE OF MILD AGONY," and find a holy bible. Aware of the
- present situation in the world, I throw it down the hole. "IN CASE OF DEEP
- AGONY" contains a revolver. But it seems to be too rusty, so I decide to
- get rid of it too.
- Finally, I find what I am really looking for. The last box informs me
- that it contains something to be used "IN CASE OF BOREDOM." I quickly open
- it, feeling like a kid on Christmas day. But my joy turns to the normal
- state of hopelessness as I discover its content.
- My feet begin to walk again, aiming at nothing. I wonder if I will ever
- find a destination, as I leave five boxes behind me, one of them containing
- a chess table.
