Ice Box: requested by Lady Stardust. (Sunday)

Arthur used to be a happy man.

His house was always a place of joy.

But that all changed when his wife died.

It wasn't long before rumors started circling the neighborhood that he had gone slightly mad in his grief.

He Stopped accepting visitors.

He no longer set out on his porch on a hot summer day.

He became a recluse.

Overtime children started believing the house was haunted & nobody would dare enter his garden.

Simon who had just moved to the neighborhood with his parents was playing a game of soccer with someone and a battlefield lads when he kicked the ball over the wall and into our back garden.

He was surprised by The Reluctant see of the other kids to go and get their ball.

They told him about the crazy old man living.

They told him they believed the house to be haunted.

Simon being the new Kid in the neighborhood wanted to show the kids how brave he was.

He told them he did not believe in that sort of thing as he climbed over the wall.

Now in the overgrown back garden he spots the back door which was slightly ajar.

Curiosity getting the better of him he decides to take a peek inside.

He slowly makes his way across the garden and up the creaking stairs and across the rotten porch.

He poked his head inside.

Seeing nobody about he walked carefully into the house.

He was amazed by how grimy everything was.

He was just walking down the corridor from the back door towards the front hallway when he heard The Voice shout out "You'll do nicely" which made him freeze in his tracks.

He tried to turn and Run but he was stuck to the spot.

He tried to shout out for help but words refuse to leave his lips and then everything around him went dark.

He awoke in a Square glass box.

He guessed he must have passed out.

He spots arrival old looking man sitting in a wheelchair staring at him from the other side of the room.

The man staring at him flicked a switch.

A speaker above him in the lid crackled into life.

A dry raspy voice comes through.

The old man explains to him that he was somewhat of a scientist and he had now spent the last 30 years of his life and his admit fortune perfecting his Lazarus device.

He continue to explain to him that his machine could turn any human into any other human.

He explained that he has been so lonely since his wife died.

He explains even though he cannot technically bring her back from the dead he could turn him into a facsimile and alter his mind enough that he would appear to be here.

Simon screams out but his words only reverberate around the Square glass box.

The old man flips a switch turning off the speaker before pulling a lever which fills the Square glass box with a freezing smoke.

7 days after being put in the giant test tube Simon is released.

At first he panics as he notices all the changes that had happened to him.

Girl in a Box - TV Tropes

But after a few minutes his mind stops caring about the changes.

His fairy reply for the feeling of love and caring for old man.

Who just like him was fully transformed.
