Ed was a man. But he was not your every day Joe-bloe 42-year-old businessman that worked for a major investment company. Ed would wake up each morning and get ready for another boring day at the office where his boss yelled at him, and the coffee tasted like month old lasagna that has been left in a margarine container.
One day after a depressing day at work Ed was driving home. As Ed drove his very depressingly boring car he suddenly ran into an old lady who did not wait for a turn to cross the street but just simply ran in front of Ed’s car saying, “yippee!
Ed leaped out of the car to see if the old lady was all right, and she was, but she just told Ed this: “Oh don’t worry about it sonny, it was fate… you see I am meant to give you something.”
Ed was bewildered, “Give me what?!?”
The lady replied with, “ My name is Geraldine, and here you go”
Into Ed’s hands she placed a broken down cardboard box with the words written on it This way in. Ed looked at the box then returned his gaze to where the woman sat and found that she gone.
Ed confused got into his car and drove home very puzzled. Ed went inside his humbly boring home and looked at the box, as he was doing so he heard a voice in his head say, “Well, put the box together at least, you silly man.”
So, Ed being a wise man did what the voice in his head suggested and put the box together. He put it outside on the grass for his cat to play with. As soon as Ed put the box down the cat jumped in and disappeared, Ed a little freaked out dived in the box, head first the this way in of course and found himself in an alternate universe that was beautiful and peaceful and free of gross coffee, and stock investors, and for the record completely free of boredom.
