The Locked Box

That was a winter night. Dark night with fog around. A group of dogs had been barking for a long time seeing something from afar. Hitesh had worn a dark blue color jacket and a cap on his head. He was walking while putting his hands in their respective pockets. His sneakers were looking so bright as it was a fluorescent green color. 

He really doesn't know where to stop but he never stopped walking from the moment he had been rescued from that dangerous snake. Hurriedly he lost his phone. It seemed like the night is turning darker by growing time. He was thinking about his commandable fight with that mysterious snake. Suddenly, he felt a strong hit on his head, and holding his head he fell down on the ground. 

He opens his eyes and sees a royal chamber and a bed where he is lying. There was everything looks so royal and expensive. A clock on the wall was alarming in every passing second. For a few moments, he kept his ears through his hands for avoiding the weird sound. When he opens his hands, there was no clock on the wall instead there was a lizard who is in a position to catch an insect. His eyes opened widely and he rubbed his eyes. His throat dried and he wanted water immediately. 

To his present surprise, there was a jug of water and an empty glass in front of him on a table. He rushes to drink the water and is drunk. In a blink of an eye that glass and jug disappear. Again his heart starts beating faster and he came to bed. 

He found a letter there. When he unfolds it, there were fluttering butterflies flew towards the roof and made a loop there. Where he could see that dark night and he could able to hear the barking dogs. Everything was happening with him like a dream. He can see everything, feel everything but didn't get about anything. In between, he slept.

A firm knock broke his nap. He opened his eyes and looked around where the sound is coming? Because he could only see a door which is already opened. He got up and walked towards the door and got surprised again while seeing the door screen is a portrait of doors which is an illusion of wooden doors. While touching the screen, it opens and there was a box with a key. 

He was astonished seeing that box and the golden lock was making him curious about this box because he had seen it before somewhere.

He held the box and key and tried to open it. After that, a ray of light falls on the floor and some glittering dust were aggregating to form something. His eyes became wide open.
