A mysterious night

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!!! Umm... What! BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!!! I woke up by this annoying noise, turned off the alarm, I just noticed that it was still midnight. I was exhausted, I don't remember setting the alarm to this hour. Yes I needed to wake up early next day, but I remember that I had set it correctly

DING DONG!!

The doorbell rang. Who would it be?

It was dark outside, just some strange lights shutting on and off probably a car's parking light I peeped from the keyhole, saw a tall young man still wasn't clear, I let him in anyway

"Who are you?"

"Why have you come here?"

"I came here to deliver your parcel"

"Parcel what parcel? I haven't ordered anything"

"Our company believes we must save people who are in danger"

You are in my house in the middle of the night delivering a goddamn parcel which I don't even remember ordering... Our company believes we must save people... I rolled my eyes and went on to shut the door

"Sir, please take the package and let me leave" said the man while I closed the door.

After a while, I sensed something fishy and immediately opened the door and asked why was he here at this time, he was not there by now and had left leaving the package at the door.

I should have not opened the door, now, I am stuck with this thing and don't even know what is in it. Maybe I should leave it as is. I stood outside for a while thinking about it. I heard sirens nearby didn't realize for a second until I saw this package at my door, what just happened I think I got trapped by that man, what could be in this package a murder weapon or maybe a piece of key evidence but why not dump it somewhere why give me, the sirens are getting clearer, I think they are near, my heart is racing faster I need to calm down I will explain everything I got nothing to hide.

I saw these lights one after the other approaching towards me, they are here, they didn't stop, seems like they are going somewhere nearby I keep hearing this siren, I turned on News to find out what was going on.

BREAKING NEWS!!

A black box had just fell from the sky to a nearby ground, it was all over the news. They described this black box had some kind of lightning sort of like short-circuit sparkling near the edges.

I rushed to the door. I was in such a hurry to see that box live. I locked the door and got in the car, while driving I was deep down thinking about the package that had arrived. "That guy with the package. What could he be hiding though." I was shocked to see a car, a car in high speed arriving towards me. I quickly moved the steering to avoid an accident. I managed somehow and sighed in relief. I was now worried as I thought it is all my fault. I came out of the car to apologize. The car didn't wait it left screeching it's tires

I arrived at the box, a huge crowd was gathered around looking at the box. Indeed it was astonishing to see it live.

My phone buzzed...

"There has been this incident at our city, by which all vehicles and electronical items are going out of control, we have decided that we will not be working today"

Rest for a day... E... What!... going out of control, how?

I turned on my phone to see the notifications had come in floods videos of cars and motorbikes were just driving on auto mode without any way to control them. Some of them flying and crashing like someone was just throwing them

I was glad I reached safely and also now that avoided car crash made sense I went pushing into the crowd looking for a way to get nearer to the box, cops had covered the whole area and had restricted people to move forward they had called bomb squads to examine the box.

Suddenly there was a loud creek, one of the squad member had touched the box and the box rotated onto it's right side collapsing him. It seemed like someone was controlling it to do so. I got more light and was now sparkling more than before.

Someone from the media wanted to broadcast it so he went near the box and starting delivering the news. By the time, the box was triggered. It flew through the sky and smashed him. It was in no time people knew that the box will only do damage if they try to move.

As we stood there watched people die, fear had emerged inside us, regretting why we had come here in the first place, now, all our lives are in danger, some were trying to act smart by walking at a very slow pace to avoid and run away from the situation but the box somehow detected and smashed the person

I was observing this behavior for some time now as I had no movement and was standing still to avoid getting smashed

My observations were

- After the smash, it waits for some while, it gets off, I assume as the short circuit goes off for a while and also stops detection process

- It jumps to the top and then locks the target and then collapses into it.

I prepared a plan. It was risky, but, I had to move forward, there was no other option, it would kill all of us if we did nothing. I wanted to reach my car which was like a couple of steps away

It was very unethical for me to look for an smash to happen so that I can move towards my car, unfortunately, people kept dying and I kept moving, I soon reached my car and sat in, I felt something when I reached the gearbox. It fell, I moved my hands down and saw the package that guy had left.

Had I not kept it in the table when I left. I don't remember I was in such a hurry. I opened the package. There was this box with a red button on it labelled PRESS ME. I was shocked to see this. Was this some kind of a joke. Meanwhile, I noticed everyone there was looking at me, the box was up in the air coming towards me. I was not thinking right, I just pressed the button, it blew a high-pitched voice, I felt dizzy. It was like I am in deep sound sleep, and then suddenly this noise buzz, buzz, buzz.

I skipped a heart beat, my hands were shivering. I ran towards my balcony for some fresh air. Direct sunlight hit me, it felt warm and comfortable. I breathed deeply and relaxed myself. What a terrifying dream it was.
