Black Box

A 'black box' describes the state of mind one can experience that is associated with isolation, pain, frustration, and other negative synonyms of the like.

It describes how one feels when they are trapped, obstructed, or even empowered (even if empowerment is false) by something that is affecting them psychologically.
Person 1: I find myself returned to my 'Black Box'. I forgot how I got here, or how I ever even found it in the first place. When I'm here, I don't feel like myself. But to tell the trurth, I still am, myself.

Person A: "Daryl's going to the 'Black Box' again... should we help him?"
Person B: "Nah, he can let himself out of it eventually, he's used to it. It's probably for his benefit, it's all he knows anyway. Just let him be."

Black Box

Believed by some to exist only in ancient greek mythology, but known by a few select men to exist in the open world.

According to most theories, the black box is a blackened lock box containing precisely one thousand condoms. This box, only opened once every thirteen years to a certain individual of superior strength. Once opened, the box opener, or the Jehosaphat, must use every single condom in a 24 hour period. If he does not complete the task, his sexual organs will implode violently, effectively killing him. If he successfully completes the task he will be blessed with a cock of magical size and powers. The length will be precisely 6 inches, when folded in half, before getting up. Also, the victorious Jehosaphat will have complete control over his crotchal region. Erection and ejcatulation at complete whim.
