6 figure Netflix deal surely?Story Time
In the heart of Oslo, Norway, a colossal box appeared overnight. Its dimensions were staggering: a perfect 5 meters on each side, standing like an enigma in the middle of a bustling city square. The citizens woke up to find it there, as if it had materialized from thin air. No one remembered seeing it arrive, and no construction crew had been responsible for its placement. The box simply was.
News outlets buzzed with excitement, and scientists from around the world descended upon Oslo. They circled the mysterious cube, their brows furrowed in perplexity. The surface was smooth, unyielding, and devoid of any seams or markings. It defied all attempts at analysis. Drills bounced off its surface, lasers refracted, and diamond-tipped saws dulled against its edges. The box remained impervious, mocking their efforts.
Theories sprouted like wildflowers. Some believed it was an elaborate art installation, a cosmic prank played by an otherworldly artist. Others whispered about alien technology or secret government experiments. The more imaginative speculated that it was a portal to another dimension, a gateway to realms beyond our comprehension.
"Why Oslo?" people wondered aloud. Why this quiet Scandinavian city? Why not New York or Tokyo? The box seemed to defy logic, choosing a location that held no obvious significance. Perhaps that was the point—to remind humanity that randomness and mystery still existed in a world obsessed with patterns and predictability.
As the frenzy escalated, a sage old man stepped forward. His name was Henrik Bjørnsson, a retired philosopher who had spent his life pondering the mysteries of existence. He stood before the box, his eyes twinkling with wisdom.
"Friends," he said, his voice carrying across the square, "we need not unravel every secret. Sometimes, life presents us with enigmas simply to remind us of wonder. This box—it is a gift. A reminder that not everything needs explanation."
The crowd shifted uncomfortably. They wanted answers, not riddles.
"But what if it's a bomb?" someone shouted.
Henrik chuckled. "My dear friend, if it were a bomb, we'd all be gone by now. No, this box is different. It's a cosmic wink, a challenge to our insatiable curiosity."
He raised his arms, addressing the world through the lenses of countless cameras.
"Let us not dissect it," Henrik declared. "Let us dance around it, sing to it, and celebrate its existence. For in this box lies the essence of life—the inexplicable, the beautiful, the absurd."
And so, the citizens of Oslo did just that. They held impromptu picnics around the box, painted murals on its sides, and composed songs about its mystery. Children played hide-and-seek, using it as their secret fortress. Couples kissed against its unyielding surface, feeling the pulse of the unknown beneath their lips.
As days turned into weeks, the world watched in fascination. Theories faded, replaced by acceptance. The box became a symbol of defiance—an invitation to live life without overanalyzing every detail. It was a reminder that sometimes, the most profound questions had no answers.
And so, my friend, let us embrace the mystery. Let us revel in the absurdity of a 5-meter cube that defies reason. For in its simplicity lies the greatest truth of all: Life is not a puzzle to be solved; it's a dance to be enjoyed.
Note: The box remained unopened, and its origin remained a delightful secret. Henrik Bjørnsson became a folk hero, known as the "Box Whisperer," and his philosophy spread far beyond Oslo.

Problem is there's just so many by the great man. Might need to expand it to the Top 50.
