Daniel was born a healthy male baby. Throughout his childhood, he practiced well manners and proper etiquette. Suddenly, on his 20th birthday, he fell into a month-long coma. Once he woke up, he was Daniel no more. He could not help but say or do mean things that degraded and humiliated the dignity of others. This took a toll on his daily life and once stable and loving relationships became broken and bitter shipwrecks. Trying to live a new life, he stumbled upon, a world filled with disrespect and vile manner.
He started doing alcohol, drugs and what not. He was constantly irritated with himself, urging him for more and more. He can not die right now; he needs to experience everything, feel everything, and see everything. Life is too short, he has experienced that. No, no he can't stop now. He couldn't say anything for a whole month, he needs to be heard. No more nice guy, nice guys dont get to live the fullest. Daniel slowly started sinking in the underworld. He started smuggling. He smuggled arms, drugs, old antique piece and every thing that could give him money. Money was the queen of every ones heart, but a person with money was always the king.
One day in his smuggling business he had to deliver a consignment personally. It was top secret, the client had said. He was sitting on his boat when the box started moving. He got scared at first, then he avoided thinking this is just sea sickness he's seeing wrong. Then the box moved again. He was terrified because the items he smuggled did not move. Could it be an animal, a rabbit maybe. Then a violent jerking happened, oh no is he unknowingly smuggling a lion or tiger? No,no the box is small ,may be a large snake !
Then came out a word from the box "help"! His senses became alarmed,there is a human child inside the box. He haven't done this before . He doesn't smuggle humans ,it's human trafficking ,my god. He had uttered the name god,after so many years . Because if he refuses to deliver "the box",he will surely die. And if he does !? The box spoke again , "help" . Who keeps a child in a box? What...
