A month later, we found ourselves at Taj's residence, partaking in a day of assisting with the renovation of his 1950s-built house, a property that once belonged to my late grandmother before Taj's family acquired it. The focus of the renovation lay on the kitchen and living room, with plans to expand by dismantling the adjacent sunroom to the left of the original living space. During the process, as Taj maneuvered a lamp within the sunroom, a serendipitous accident dislodged an aged, vociferating ceiling tile, revealing a hidden treasure trove. Among the treasures unearthed was an intriguing game board resembling Monopoly, enticing us to delve deeper into the recesses above. A search ensued, unearthing a cache of old cards, board games, and miniature model cars, piquing our curiosity further. However, our astonishment peaked upon the discovery of a box labeled "Zuka Tawa Board," concealed at the far end of the room's foundation, beyond our immediate reach. With adept hands, Taj managed to retrieve the box, causing its contents to spill forth—a board landing upright and a small wooden piece resembling a computer chip that Taj deftly caught mid-fall, initiating a sense of intrigue and anticipation. Fascinated by the enigmatic "Zuka Tawa Board," our attention was captured by a diminutive screen reminiscent of a miniature television, featuring a series of obscured letters and numbers below it. Positioned beneath the screen, the word "Tschüss" was almost imperceptibly scribbled, hinting at a hidden message waiting to be deciphered. Upon discovering that "Tschüss" translated to "bye" through online research, a sense of intrigue enveloped us. As I lifted the board, Fred extended a helping hand to assist Taj down from the ladder, prompting us to pause and contemplate the significance of the board and its mysterious contents. With Fred securing the puzzling wooden piece, the allure of the "Zuka Tawa Board" beckoned us to delve deeper into its secrets, sparking a journey of exploration and revelation.
Taj takes the wooden box and places it in the box where the board also now laid hiding its intriguing contents. We go back to taking out the boxes of old stuff that we were supposed to be moving in the first place before Tajs parents arrived home. A few hours later we were playing video games on Tajs older brother Kaidens who was around 23 but I'd never really meet due to him only being home a few times a year from college. Taj and I had been so locked in on the game we almost forgot completely about the board till Fred kept saying stuff about it as we were playing but was cut of when Tajs mom called us for dinner, we went to the kitchen which was basically just a table with 5 chairs, a microwave on a foldout table, a fridge, and a stove. His Mom didn't she cooked for Tajs friends because her husband was always home and her others sons usually elsewhere. We mention how we found old stuff up in the ceiling when Fred mentions the Zuka Tawa board, Tajs mom right away urged us not to open the box as if she knew what it is or does? We didn't even question her or tell her it had fallen open already. After we finished our dinner we went back r playing games when Fred finally spoke out "Let's play the game" Taj and I look confused at each other we were already playing the game but I knew what he meant. He explained that the game sounds cool and scary as he pulls out a white instruction manual as if it's from a brand new game only thing wrong with it was some "rules" that were faded of which is confusing for how new it looked. Taj mentioned that he didn't wanna play the game in his house when Fred interrupted, "let's play it in the field by Bucktail!"
