Project 3 Proposal~Mark O.

Ryan was riding his bike through Butterfield Park on his way to Aboveground when he noticed a strange box outside on the grass. Intrigued, he walked towards it and saw that it was actually an enclosed room. He saw the door leading the way in and wondered why there was no instructions or sign that would explain this odd thing. He opened the door and saw a room with envelopes in it that appeared to be hanging from the ceiling. On the wall it said "there is a prize in each of these envelopes." Jim was suddenly happy that he stumbled upon this room and that a prize awaited him. He jumped for the first envelope but could not reach it. He found an envelope that was slightly closer to him and grabbed it right away. Inside was a tissue. Ryan was mildly disappointed but was also curious what lay ahead and proceeded through the next door. The next room was all black and at the end on a black stand was the shiniest and biggest trophy Jim had ever seen with an enormous #1 on it. He walked towards it with a fascination for what it was awarded for and for whom. When he was right next to it he read the small print on the bottom which said "world's biggest loser". Ryan felt different, he couldn't describe it but there was something this place did to him. He continued through the rooms and each one contained something that was not as it originally seemed. After he had been misleaded several times he walked into a room that was completley white, sterile looking and the only other thing in the room with him was a white stand with a white box on it. He walked to the box and opened it. It was empty. Ryan looked again. At the bottom of the box was one single word, disappointed. Ryan now understood the message the box was trying to tell him, men in general judge more from appearances than from reality, all men have eyes, but few have the gift for penetration.
