500 metres below surface..
#WritcoStoryPrompt35
The discovery was mind blowing by most standards. I mean who unearths an Egyptian mummy after so many centuries?
"Dr.Hima! "
I turn surprised by my assistant's shout. His wide, frightened eyes stare back at me. "What is it, Ron?"
He points at the corner of the mummy's coffin. "That's dried blood, Doctor. I think there's someone else in there with that mummy."
"How is that possible? We dug 500 metres below the surface in this pyramid to excavate this coffin! We surely would have seen some signs of a human activity if there was any."
"Errr...Doctor, I don't think this is fresh human blood from our time. But I will have to scrap some and test it to be sure."
"Hmm.. okay, at least move the mummy to our vacuum-sealed glass box."
Ron turned to obey my fresh orders. Three other people were helping him. They gathered around to move the mummy.
The moment they removed the mummy, they found a deteriorated human body, a woman's remains. They pulled out the body and put it on a stretcher.
"Doctor, the body seems to be at least 300 years old. I wonder how the little mass left on her survived three centuries. She wasn't preserved like the mummy.."
Ron was right. There was something eerie about the whole scene....
