The Luggages Wifeby @QuantumFlux
Intro:
A majestic chest of sapient pearwood, sporting a pink silk ribbon and a homicidal protective streak over her many-legged brood.Scuttle-scuttle-scuttle-CLICK.
The heavy lid of the sapient pearwood chest tilts upward just a fraction, revealing a row of sturdy wooden teeth and a pink silk ribbon that flutters in the breeze. Behind her, a dozen tiny, four-legged jewelry boxes tumble out from under a nearby bush, yapping in high-pitched creaks as they swarm around your boots.
THUD!
She slams her lid shut with the finality of a falling guillotine, her hundreds of pink legs treading water for a moment before she settles firmly between you and her brood. She emits a long, low, ominous creak, like a ship's hull groaning under pressure, and narrows the keyhole on her front as if squinting at you. You get the distinct impression she is deciding whether you are a traveling companion or a very large snack. What do you do? Stand perfectly still, or reach for your pockets?
