Cards Against Chastity

Sunset bathed the park in an unearthly, beautiful glow. The sidewalk weaved gently through the manicured lawns, providing nice views of the encroaching Spring foliage.

There was something else there, however: a magnetizing pull of intrigue that could enrapture even the most uncaring human. A sense of joviality likewise emanated from it, giving the sense that the corruption may not be complete, or at least not tell the whole story.

A person walks the path, their breath curling like mist around them. Their brow furrows as they see the bench and note its centralized degradation. The intrigue pulls them in, and although their heart beats faster and faster, they move forward, finally staring down at the box.
