#WritcoStoryPrompt4

He stared at the email in disbelief. The message was marked urgent and was from a friend who had passed away two years ago. The subject line read, "URGENT - OPEN IMMEDIATELY." He hesitated for a moment before clicking on the email. As he read the message, his heart began to race. The email was from his friend, but the words were not his friend's. They were written in a different language, one he couldn't decipher. He tried to translate the message but couldn't make sense of it. Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Did you get the email?" a voice on the other end asked.

"Yes, I did. Who is this?" he replied.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you need to find the key," the voice said before hanging up.

He was confused and scared. What key? And why did this mysterious person want him to find it? He tried to call the number back, but it was disconnected. He was left with more questions than answers.He decided to go to his friend's old apartment to see if he could find any clues. As he searched through his friend's belongings, he found a strange key. It was unlike any key he had ever seen before. He decided to take it with him.As he walked back to his car, he noticed a man in a black suit watching him. He quickly got into his car and drove away. The man followed him, but he managed to lose him.
He knew he had to find out what the key was for. He decided to visit an old friend who was a historian. When he showed him the key, his friend's face turned white.

"This key belongs to an ancient civilization that disappeared without a trace. It's said that whoever possesses the key has the power to unlock a secret that could change the world," his friend said.

He was stunned. What secret? And why was his friend involved in something so dangerous?

As he left his friend's house, he noticed the man in the black suit watching him again. He knew he had to be careful.

He decided to go to the location where the ancient civilization once lived. As he approached the entrance, he inserted the key into the lock. The door slowly creaked open, revealing a dark and eerie room.Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around to see the man in the black suit standing there.

"You shouldn't have come here," the man said before pulling outa gun.

He realized he was in grave danger. He had to think fast. He quickly grabbed a nearby object and threw it at the man. It hit him in the face, causing him to stumble. He took advantage of the situation and ran deeper into the room. He saw a strange object in the center of the room. It was glowing and looked like it was made of gold. He approached the object and touched it. Suddenly, he was transported to a different place. He found himself in a beautiful garden surrounded by flowers of every color.
As he walked around, he saw his friend who had passed away. His friend looked at him and said, "You did it. You found the key." He was confused. What did his friend mean? Suddenly, he was transported back to the dark room. The man in the black suit was nowhere to be seen. He realized that he had to leave the place immediately. He took the key and ran out of the room. When he got outside, he saw that it was dawn. He had been in the room for hours. He decided to go home and try to make sense of everything that had happened.
As he sat in his living room, he realized that he had been part of something much bigger than himself. He had unlocked a secret that had been hidden for centuries. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew that he had to be ready for anything.
