A different day
#WritcoStoryPrompt1
The parcel that had arrived today, contained an old key and a list of instructions to use it. I hadn't been expecting anything nor do I know from whence it came. However, curiousity struck me so that I had to venture on this new quest. The old key was a large, rusted one that could certainly belong to an old door... possibly a chest of sorts. Who knows? The instructions looked as if on Parchment paper, although the inkings were easily legible. It read:
To the bearer of this finding,
There are three things required of you posthaste.
One: After reading ALL of these instructions, PROMPTLY, take the key and place it under the door of the most hidden room in the house. Leave it there overnight.
Two: Roll the instructions back up and tie it with the Golden ribbon in the box. Place the instructions outside of the most open door in the house until morning.
Three: Stand in an open space and say these words three times while holding a bottle of rum ...
"Bottoms up. Be alert. Be of good cheer. Prepare. Repair. Shine your light here."
In the morrow, take the instructions and place them in the safety box that came in the parcel. The key should not be where you left it. It will have been transported where needed most.
Thank you for helping the Time Warriors, my friend. "
I did as instructed that night. The next day all is as I read it would be. I feel like a true hero. I wonder what's coming in the mail today!
