Dead or alive?

Discovering the truth

I wondered further into the room and was surprised to see that it was larger than it first appeared (it's like a secret Tardis!). I reach out my hand and touch the centre piece. It feels smooth and slimy yet soft a squishy. Maybe it's because of all the moss gathered upon the cylinder.

"What do you think this is?" Asked Zack

"I'm not sure but it seems like some sort if lab or research facility."

I decide to read some of the papers left on the desk. There very complex and hard to understand. From what I can gather, they seem to be relating to a deadly virus that was created by someone. I can't quite figure out who though- 'James Bur...'. Everything is fading due to old age. I gather up all the papers and put then into my bag.

Were about to leave when suddenly, as if it starts from nowhere, we hear the same noise from before. A sort of high pitch noise. I follow it and it leads me too a draw. this draw was different from others as it wasn't covered in moss or vines, but instead it was completely bare. It's as if something was preventing it from being entwined with the jungle life like the rest of the room.

As I open the draw the noise gets louder and louder. To be honest, it's quite annoying! I rummage through the draw pushing pens, pencils and all sorts out of the way. There's nothing! Nothing here except a button. Wait, there's a button! I hesitantly press the mysterious button and another smaller compartment opens. Inside there is a watch. The leather strap has worn away slightly and the glass protecting the hands and date inside is a little shipped; other than that it seems perfectly normal. But this one doesn't work. There's no ticking noise! It hasn't worked since 2nd of November 2005 to be exact. That's the day my parents died...
