In a city that is very quite stood our house. Our house had been passed down to me by my parents, to my parents by my grandparents and to them by their parents. The house looked liked it hadn’t been restored in ages which as a child led me to believe that the house was haunted because it was a bit creepy. It almost looked liked a middle aged man that was depressed, all worn down and falling apart.
I once heard my grandfather say that the original owner of this house was my great grandfather Henry. He also added that he was a doctor, one of the best apparently, people traveled thousands of miles on bare foot just to be treated by him. Close to the house was a cemetery which rumors said he was buried in, I went there few times to look for his tombstone but to find a tombstone that old where and there are thousands of others are straight out impossible. One thing that bothered me was when my parents gave me the property they seemed very relieved almost as if they had been waiting for this moment for ages. Why were they this relived? My parents who were depressed since they had the house now seemed to be the two happiest people on earth. Never the less I got the keys without questioning it. Just as I was out to my new house my father said in an quite tone: “When you find out, your mother and I hope you do what is right…” . When I got there the first thing I did was to clean the house but I was so tired that I could only clean the bedroom. When I woke up I decided to check the attic. When I opened the door to the attic I saw an old trunk that was barely visible because of the blankets on top of it. Our family secrets were hidden in the trunk in the basement of our house. When I opened the trunk, I learned things that completely changed my outlook on life. It turned out that my great grandfather Henry had discovered a potion that could cure any disease. There was a few newspapers that talked about a kidnapping and under them was a number. It was the number of the tombstone!
2247 I repeated to myself as I ran to the cemetery. When I got there I saw an old box with an tube in it. There was strange kind of fluid inside the tube. This must be it I said to myself but with my realization came fear. Now what was I supposed to do, who could I trust, how could I make more while on the run from people who mean harm…
