I was asked not to look at anything in the fridge.

So the previous tenant of my new flat didn’t want to disturb me as I was moving in. I agreed, knowing that the effort involved in moving everything is much worse than waiting for the Council to come and take the unwanted items away. <br><br>I’ve moved in now, and the first thing I’d noticed was how the fridge absolutely stunk. It seemed to be working as expected but I was just going to throw it out anyway as I wanted to keep the kitchen clean. <br><br>So I decided to clean out the fridge, and that’s when I found it. A Tupperware container that looked just like any other, except for the fact it had red tape all around it, and scribbled in red pen, “Don’t open it, please don’t open it.” <br><br>I opened the fridge, drunk on the freedom of living alone for the first time in my life and decided to leave it sealed and put it in the bin. <br><br>I didn’t open that container. But I did decide to keep it, and sealed it in a black bin bag and hid it. <br><br>I did however Google what could cause someone to write that on a Tupperware container. That’s when I found it. An online forum, where people with no life spent talking about their weird neighbour. There was one comment that made my blood run cold. <br><br>“There’s something inside it. Something that I never want to see again. I don’t know what it is. My neighbour found it 10 years ago on holiday and took it home. Ever since then they’ve done nothing but deteriorate. When I first moved in, he was a normal guy. But then slowly they fell into a deep depression. <br><br>He also left a note with me. Open it whenever you want. And don’t say I didn’t warn you. <br><br>I did. And now I feel the same way that he does. You can’t see it, you can’t smell it, you can’t even hear it. You just feel it. <br><br>So I left the note on the fridge. I taped the container down and left it there. But every time I go to make some food, something compels me to look at it. To look at the note. <br><br>To open the Tupperware container. <br><br>I never have, because if I do, I know that my life will change forever. I know that I will be the one writing on here in years to come.
