     Ever get that strange gut feeling that something is just not quite right. Well that's what I felt today. It wasn't just any small emotion either. For some strange reason I was beginning to get goosebumps. The small hairs on my skin rising. All of a sudden I heard a knock. I jumped of how frightened I was. I had no idea who or what was behind that door but I was about to find out. Or at least I thought I would.

    Right, the door, I looked through the hole and saw a woman dressed in black. For some reason her eye sockets were empty and her skin seemed very pale. I've never been any more scared in my life, but my curiousity took over. I opened the door. She was gone, vanished into thin air, what the hell had just happened. I just decided not to think about it too much. I know a normal person would have just ran away but I was way too curious. All of a sudden I noticed something very strange.

   It looked like some sort of map. The strangest thing were the markings written all over the back of the map. It looked like Latin but I wasn't sure. I've never seen anything like it. My first thought was to contact the authorities. But this was a great opportunity. Who knows what the map would lead to. I just decided to keep the map for myself. Whatever it led to, I was willing to find it myself.

   Okay maybe that might have been a bit selfish but come on, if I get rich i'll share my fortune with others, maybe. Anyways who knows if there are any dangers in finding this treasure. I wouldn't want anybody else to face them because of me. I think I actually did a good thing. Anyways, I glanced back at the map and noticed how old it looked. I wondered if that treasure would still be there. It wouldn't hurt to try and find it.
