Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box by Mira Grant

4.0

 
If you're looking for a quick read that will make you stop and think - Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box is the short story for you. I almost wish I had read this when it first came out (2011), as I feel like it would have hit differently then, as opposed to now.

Fun fact: if you read this short as part of Mira Grant's Apocalypse Scenarios Anthology, there's a little forward comment about that fact. So that's much appreciated, even if it is still quite dark.

Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box is twisted, but in a way that makes you think. The scenario should be completely out of the realm of possibilities, yet modern events probably changed that perspective a bit. I love the idea of a group of friends sitting around and chatting about how they would end the world. While morbid, it would certainly make you think, right?
