F.A.Q.
There’s a weird humming noise coming from The Box™.
That’s perfectly normal. The sound occurs every couple of days, usually at night. You may even experience fewer insects or vermin in and around your house.
The Box™ opened on its own revealing a dark interior that beckons.
Under no circumstance should you touch the interior of The Box™. Look away and stuff your ears with cotton balls for good measure.
There’s a light in the dark. It’s calling.
It’s too late for you.
We at The Box™ Industries hope you enjoyed The Box™ while you were able and weren’t a part of the void. May all your desired products find you wherever you are.
