Joining the weekly 100 words challenge for Grown ups. This week the prompt is to use the following prompt with no more than 100 words.
……the red box……
As he lifted the red box and placed it on his desk he was shacking a little inside. He knew that as he later opened the red box and subsequently read from the papers inside he would absolutely have made his mark in history. He would either be labelled the chancellor who made history or the one who damaged his career in the time it took to read the details. Either way, he was reading what he believed was absolutely the best thing to do. To be the best, you must do the right thing. There was no turning back.

Given the chaotic state of politics here in the US, I truly appreciate the reality of how every decision can make or break a political career.

I see you went with the political meaning for your story. I don't completely understand that side, but I can sense the importance of it in your piece.
