A Chilling Message
Adam felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, thinking that his father would go to great measures to hide this diary if it contained something significant. Adam turned the pages of the journal and found the final entry. His father had sent him a message, and his eyes grew wide. It seemed like his dad anticipated Adam’s future arrival in search of the journal, key, and trailer.
The Chance to Stop
If there was one thing Adam was certain of, it was that he had this moment to stop. He might just leave the journal, key, and trailer inside and go. He could even set it on fire. Really, what did he owe his father? The man was attempting to entice his kid into a mystery, having abandoned him when he was a young boy. Adam made an effort to harden his heart, but he was unable to stop himself.
