The Monster

Story Starter

We moved forward and slowly pried the eerily silent door open. The room was dimly lit from a corner, and dust carpeted the floor. There were artefacts clustered together, each sitting in empty cardboard boxes.

They were available to scavenge, and we seized the opportunity. A stroke of luck led us to a unique greenish beaded ornament with ‘do not touch’ snuggling it in black tape. Initially hesitant to touch, we reminded ourselves of our goal. Hunter went first, and I followed. We unwrapped the tape and stared at the wonder.
