I found it very hard to follow this story. Some elements of it came through. Do you think you might go back and try to make it clearer? I recognize a thread--a creature from another planet with a box filled with gifts of valor and fear. And then there is happiness, also hidden, but in order for happiness to be released the bearer of the box must die?
I'm guessing here. If you could go back and clear up some of that it would be very helpful.
Thank you!
