#WritcoStoryPrompt1
The parcel that had arrived today, contained an old key and a list of instructions to use it
Dr. Shambu was reading in his study room, when Mr Gopal brought him a parcel . The parcel had old key and a letter with a set of instructions. Dr. Shambhu was stumped for the first time, while Mr Gopal was sure he has seen this key or atleast the lock that can be opened with this key. Let's see a brief introduction about them.
Dr Shambu is one of most famous archeologists , Scientist and social activist. He thought living with the nature is the perfect way to live. However,he needed some materials for his research, which were available only in town. So he lived in the Semi-urban area, which had connect with the nature and facilities of a town.
