Especially When Scorched

 

He was told that it was a special,

one-of-a-kind key,

a universal key that could open

any door, any lock.

His task was to discover how to activate and use it.

It didn’t look like any key he’d seen

it wasn’t like any other

it looked more like a burnt marshmallow

 

looks can be deceiving

especially when scorched
