TED SORRY I HAVEN’T BEEN INTO MY EMAILS

THE BOX WAS LOCKED

from: Ted
to: Toby

And yet, messages could still enter, and the capaciousness of the box was never breeched. This suggests that the box is formed from a substance permeable by thought but not matter, surrounds an envelope of space of infinite informational density (I have sent many messages, and no doubt have many others, for your fame is quite unholy).

I would say that perhaps you should, now the box is open, begin to fill it with dirt. Eventually, the whole world will be within your box, and may be discarded as you wish.

I once invented the sport of Unboxing, for an existential novel based around the concept of reversals in all things. I myself was once very good at unfootball, where with the aid of magnets you have to suck ballbearings out of nets.

I do not like this talk of tubes.
