I did this because I was made to write a text with a given sentence in the body for an English contest. But the text felt so short (I had written 200, the limit being 140), I decided to make it bigger! I don't think I am making a Part 2 of this by the way
Hope you enjoy!
Long
have they been searching for Dr Burrow's buried item, but never did
they own the right equipment. The party was almost jumping to the
conclusion that there was no possible way to hide an object so deep
inside the cave's walls.
The
person reading this might be wondering what this is all about and
thinks to itself I might clear out its questions. Well, on the 22nd
December the year before, the rich, solitary, and brilliant scientist
Dr Burrow passed away of old age. And in his will was found an
enigmatic riddle, a beautiful subtle combination between literature
and science: truly a work of art. The poem presented very exact
geographical characteristics of the area in which Dr Burrow's son,
Timothy's heritage was buried. The news about this mystery was first
announced in the local newspaper Gallon, but soon gained massive
amounts of interest all throughout the United States.
Timothy
soon received aid from a group of scientists from the National
Scientific Research Insitution of America. They decided to help,
hoping that Dr Burrow's enigmatic “buried secret” all throughout
important American newspapers and magazines would consist of more
valuable sicentifc discoveries made by the famous wealthy scientist.
But,
as previously mentioned in the beginning of this text, unfortunately
the little party did not own the corresponding equipment. Their
months of dedication on the riddle lead to Green Cave, known after
its rare species of moss abundantly spread all across its rocky
walls. The cave itself wasn't too big, but no matter how deep they
have dug into Green Cave's walls, they discovered nothing. It was
unbelievable how anybody could hide an object so deep inside the
cave, yet still no sign of digging was left behind, anywhere. People
began thinking the group of scientists have found the wrong place, or
that there was no buried inheritance. Second hand newspapers started
gossip, suspecting Dr Burrow's mental health getting worse by his
life's end, or accusing him of memory loss and deliriously mentioning
an inexistant heritage. But the search party knew there was no other
place that had the same distinct properties as Green Cave, most
mentioned in the scientist's poem and didn't dare suspect his mental
health. Other scientists believed the same. Could it be that Dr
Burrow had discovered something incredible, something only thought of
as pure myths? It could be, given by his high level of intellect.
Newspapers spread rumors, from teleportation to a whole new
scientific branch, an entire field of exploration discovered by the
genius science man.
But
now, the government has decided to help with the search by sending in
their latest invention, a contraption of millions, the most
performant digging machine. It took years to make and was designed
by the brightest of minds.
The
machine was triumphantly marching towards the wealthy scientist's
native town, near which sits his enormous mansion. It was driven by
six people slowly dragging across the heavy contraption.
By
the time the machine arrived, the party had already found out its
arrival. It was the size and weight of a tank. As it was imposingly
being dragged on the hill, Timothy and the scientists were gazing
upon the enormous contraption. Luckily enough, the cave was wide and
tall enough for the machine to fit into. But the veichle's usage was
limited by the government, which couldn't allow digging in too deep
and risking the cave to collapse and destroy the expensive device.
But its boundaries were still significantly larger than the
scientists' reach.
The
had been digging, slowly and safely, for more than a week, and the
party was starting to lose hope. But, one day, after 9 days of
digging, in a moment least expected, at the crack of dawn, the
machine reached something and a loud metallic noise echoed throughout
the cave, Timothy looked in shock and, as the machine was going
backwards, he went to see what it was the machine had found: it was
a small metal box. The scientists were looking in disbelief of Dr
Burrow's achievement, and looked at his son opening the box and
looking back at them disappointed: inside the box were a key, and a
riddle attached to it.
The
search was not yet finished, and seemed to take longer than
anticipated...
