One sealed answer. Several unhelpful possibilities.

Final Parcel

Mystery Box entered the depot with a perfect seal, a crooked shipping label, and no declared purpose. Nobody remembers ordering it. The arrows insist on upright storage; the broken-glass mark requests courtesy. At noon it shifts one inch closer to dispatch. By closing time, the tape is still warm. Every clerk has a theory. None has volunteered to open it. The night shift leaves it the good chair.

Leave the seal. Keep the possibility.
