Short Story Sundays

Prologue (Scott)

Deep, deep in the jungle is an explorer. The man has been addicted to exploration ever since he found a necklace in the sand of Ocean City, Maryland. Currently, he is not searching for anything in particular within the jungle. He wanted to travel to a different area of the world and see what he could find.

As he hacks through the endless amount of vines and tall grasses, he comes upon a small cavern. It is tall enough, however, for him, a 6'2" man, to stand up straight in. The walls are painted with a light grey color with a bumpy texture. There doesn't seem to be much to the cave, however, the man discovers a particularly small chest several yards within.

He sits down and sets the chest down onto his knees. He moves his brown hair out of his excited eyes as he opens the container. Inside, however, is only a small note. He squints to read it within the small amount of light he has.

Welcome to Short Story Sundays! Each Sunday we will update this book and publish at least one new short story. This is a project between both Celia, Scott, and Lexie! We hope you enjoy!

The man sighs as he gently places the note back into the chest. In some strange way, he was satisfied by this mysterious piece of paper. He felt like there was much more to come on his adventure. He stands up and makes his way out of the cave into the giant, lush jungle.
