Leonard In Space

Leonard looked under the bed. The space underneath was a dim, dark frontier populated by socks without a mate, asteroid sized dust bunnies and a dull, slender black box. It was quite out of reach, but a broom handle allowed Leonard to fish it out, while also kicking up a cloud of dust that made him sneeze. The box was made of a flat, hard material with no apparent seams. He couldn't quite figure out how to open it, so he whacked it repeated with the broom, and pried it open with a knife, an action he would soon regret.
