What's in the box?

A Small Burlap Bag

Tossing his other mail on the counter Dave began to look over the box. "Huh. Nothing..." Dave mumbled as he flipped the box over looking for some sort of ID or logo outside of the shipping label. Dave flipped the box over to read the label again. "No return address. Nothing..." Dave grabbed his utility knife off the counter and cut the tap on the box. Not knowing what to expect, Dave took a deep breath before opening the box. Inside Dave found a small burlap bag, with the letters DPC printed on the side.

"Well this is weird." Dave said as he picked up the small bag and held it in front of his face. The bag had a decent amount of mass to it, and it seemed to have a little give in his hand. "Feels like it's full of sand." Dave thought as he sat the bag down to read the note that had been hidden underneath the burlap bag. Dave quickly skimmed the note and let out a chuckle. "Someone has to be ribbing me." He thought as he looked back at the burlap bag. "But this would be a weird rib..." Dave began to reread the note. This time in much more detail than before.

"Okay this is just weird." Dave said as he tossed the note back in the box and began to sort through his normal mail. After disposing of his junk mail Dave sat back down on his couch and flipped on the TV. After bouncing between streaming services Dave ended up stumbling onto I Dream of Jeannie. "Fuck it why not." Dave thought as he hit play and cracked open beer number two on the night. For the next two hours Dave sat on his couch drinking beer and watching TV. By the time nature began calling Dave had worked up a decent buzz. Dave hit pause and headed into the bathroom to relieve himself.

Walking back into the living room Dave headed straight to the **** fridge for another beer. "IPA it is!" Dave said to himself as he took a long drink of the cold beer. While the hoppy notes of the beer tickled Dave's taste buds he couldn't help but think about what he had been watching. "Fuck it would be nice to have my own Jeannie." Dave imagined Jeannie from the show living with him. "That would be fucking amazing..." Dave's eyes drifted over to the mysterious bag. "I wonder..."

What does Dave do?
