The Hidden Map: A Family Mystery Unearthed
All of this started one quiet Sunday afternoon when I decided to help my dad clean out all the clutter in the basement. What was supposed to be simple dusting off old books and just rearranging the furniture turned out to be something much more interesting than anything I would have anticipated. While rummaging in an old heap of wooden trunks, I came across an old leather-bound chest full of tools and rusty tins.
When I opened it out, I came upon a yellowed and folded map, brittle with many scribbled notes on it. Little did I know then that this forgotten map would unlock the mystery that all in my family had kept long hidden from us.
