Secret Room
When they finally removed more of the wall, they finally found this small compartment enclosed within it. The space could fit into a small cabinet. It was hidden like it had been forgotten for decades. On first presentation, the box itself looked empty, but when they finally looked at it closer, they saw several old things placed in an orderly way in it with layers of dust and cobwebs.
They were shocked. Maybe they were expected to find some old wiring or pipes in that secret space, but treasure? Treasure, certainly not secret treasures. But it was all small somehow, yet each seemed important- letters, photographs of people they had never met, a delicate piece of jewelry, and a mysterious wooden box covered in dust. They just sat in their car, uttering not a word over what they had found, like they had discovered a time capsule from years ago.
They carefully brought out everything, handling them with the care as if they were fragile relics. Every piece speaks of a story, and they could not help but wonder who had placed them within the wall and why. It feels like the previous people had left pieces of their lives locked away and hidden for the world to see. The two people feel as if they have been entrusted with a long-forgotten secret.
