"Steemit Challenge Season 28" brings you an opportunity for "Creative Writing", allowing your imagination to go as wide as you allow it to, but I want you to come up with a story full of real life-facts which provide your readers a true sensation and take them to the world of fantasy as well.

The prompt of the week : Hidden Truth Unveiled

Source

Timothy, a garage owner in a famous historical town with its centuries-old fort, hears a mystery one evening from Tony a senior citizen, living close to his house and a regular customer.

Tony spoke to him in a low, serious tone about a secret treasure buried beneath the fort, which mysteriously disappeared decades ago.

Timothy was interested to know the reality, so he told all this to a police officer David, who was another regular to his garage for his car servicing.

David searched through police archives, uncovering reports that all linked to the fort. Meanwhile, Timothy accompanied David to explore the fort’s underground passageways late every night.

One night, they found a hidden entrance through a dump of trash. They entered inside with flashlights to discover a maze of tunnels. At the end of the maze was an old wooden box filled with old heirlooms and a faded diary that revealed the truth.

They ultimately found out that it was a plan by a corrupt town official who was in charge of the treasure.

You have to continue from this point and tell us all about the old man and the mystery, how Timothy and David exposed a long-hidden thriller.
