The mine of darkness

The Presentation

It was a bright sunny day, in Detroit Michigan. I was presenting my latest article about the, Amazonian jungle for my work. My boss seemed very interested in it I said about how there is said to be a mine that the ancient Egyptians excavated. The story tells that they found massive amounts of gems inside of it. There was a catch though, only one of the Egyptians made it out of the mine alive. Before he died a month later from an unknown sickness, he wrote about the curse."I don't know how long I have to live but, my crew was swallowed by the darkness in the mine, we were happily talking about what we would do with our riches. Until my men furthest down in the mine suddenly studdered and yelled. It was not the scream of pain but the scream of unknown. I ran out and waited for my crew to come out. For hours I waited, until it was passed dark. I started heading back to my village by the amazon river when I entered the village something did not seem right. All of the torches were smoking but there was no flame. What was usually an active town, no one was outside. As I enter my hut I yell for my wife but no one is to be seen. I heard faint wind and I hid under the a sheet on my floor and I see the darkness seep through the sheets".

After my presentation my boss asked for a word, Tim he exclaimed, I am fastinated with your presentation, do you have a passport? Because if you do I would love for you to try to find that town, I doubt the riches are still there... but if you found that town I'm sure we could publish a great article and hopefully get it on a good news station, We could make bank from it. I told him to give me a few days to think and talk it over with my wife, he agreed to give me a few days.

After I got him that night, I watched some tv with my wife and when we got into bed I told her about what my boss wants me to do, she quietly listened after I was done talking she said. If you go I want to come with you. Because I know you will end up doing something stupid. Then next morning I woke up and ate a peanut butter and jelly, on whole wheat bread and walked out to my car. On my drive there I listened to country music until I got to work. When I walked in I told my boss my decision to bring my wife with me, he agreed and sent 10,000 to my bank account for the trip. That Saturday we went to the Detroit airport, after we passed security we loaded up into the plane to travel to the amazon jungle.

When we landed it was almost 4am yet we still felt wide awake. I guess it was only 2pm in Chicago   we didnt have much luck getting a taxi because we did not speak the language so after about 20 minutes of calling taxi, my wife thought of using Google translate to search up taxi, it still took another 20 minutes sense it was 5am by than
When we finally got into a taxi he asked where to, and we told him the city name. Kislof it boarders the amazon river he went silent and asked what brought us out there. And we exclaimed about the town of darkness and the hidden mine, he said I've heard stories about that placr but never thought it was real until the note found recently, is that why you guys are there? Yes I said we were hired to try to find the mine and write a news paper article about it
