My mother found this item in my father’s drawer… Is this what I’m afraid of?(1/10)
She didn’t say anything, just watched her son and his reaction to the item.
He looked extremely strange, hunched and cold, he seemed almost alive.
He stood there as if waiting for it to open.
Forbidden Drawer (2/10)
My father always kept this drawer locked in his old office. No one ever dared open it, not even his wife. This time, however, she let curiosity overwhelm her fear of confronting her husband.
Suspicious absence (3/10)
The day before, she had searched his office. There were no documents or money in his office, only this mysterious item. The lack of documents was particularly distressing for his mother.
Incomprehensible object (4/10)
It was about thirty centimeters tall. It was completely smooth, with fine patterns engraved on it. It also had jointed stems, very thin, resembling antennae. However, there is no indication of its usefulness or purpose.
Strange Contact (5/10)
Finally, the son took the initiative. For him, this choice was no small matter; the moment he grasped the object, he was plunged into memories more mystical than mysterious.
Confusing Memories (6/10)
An image immediately came to mind. He had seen his father holding the object in his hands. He recalled the time when he was still a child, living in their garage. After regaining consciousness, he decided to investigate further.
Bloodcurdling Warning (7/10)
A former colleague of his father’s, a retired physics professor, observed the object for a long time. Then it became very enigmatic. “I can’t tell you anything. And you should bury it.” It didn’t take much more to further pique the young man’s curiosity.
What Shouldn’t Exist (8/10)
When pressed for more information, his former colleague once again evaded the question. He replied without hesitation, “Because it shouldn’t be.” A response that immediately ended the conversation.
Mysterious Coordinates (9/10)
Looking closer through a magnifying glass, the young man saw a series of engraved numbers. These were GPS coordinates leading to a distant forest. There was an abandoned cabin hidden behind the trees.
Hidden Secret (10/10)
Hidden there was a desk and a box filled with similar items. Next to it lay a notebook written in his father’s handwriting, containing no indication of the purpose of this utterly mystical object. The young man then heard a voice whisper to him: “What you found wasn’t yours. But now it’s yours.”
This morning, everything seemed too quiet. Light streamed gently into the house, and the kitchen smelled of coffee. My mother entered quietly and placed a metal object on the table.
