Author’s Note: [livejournal.com profile] mad_jaks asked for 'Jack: in a box'. I'm fairly sure this isn't what she had in mind…



He wakes up in a… box?

It's dark – almost completely dark – and quiet. He's lying prostrate. There's wood inches from his face, and close beside his arms. And within reach of his shoes if he stretches his toes.

By the time his eyes have adjusted to the tiny amount of light, he already knows where he is. He's in a coffin.

The light does, however, reassure him that he's not six feet under. So do the sounds of people approaching another coffin.

Jack can't resist it. One good push and the lid jolts open.

Jack jumps to his feet. "Surprise!"
