**Episode 24: The Coastal Cottage**
The wooden box was locked, its
surface weathered and worn. Ellie
and Liam carefully pried it open,
revealing its contents: a key, a
map, and a faded photograph.
The key was old and tarnished, its
teeth intricately carved. The map
was drawn on parchment, depicting
a section of Havenwood's coastline.
The photograph was of a young
woman, dressed in Victorian attire.
Ellie and Liam recognized the
woman in the photograph: it was
Eliza. She looked radiant and
happy, her eyes sparkling with
hope.
The map depicted a coastal cottage,
located a few miles south of
Havenwood. The cottage was
marked with an X, indicating that
something was hidden there.
Ellie and Liam realized that the key
must unlock the cottage, and that
the X marked the spot where' Eliza
had buried her treasure.
They decided to set off for the
coastal cottage, eager to uncover
its secrets. They drove along the
winding coastal road, their hearts
pounding with anticipation.
They finally reached the cottage, a
dilapidated structure perched on a
cliff overlooking the ocean. The
cottage was abandoned and
overgrown with weeds, its
windows boarded up and its paint
peeling.
They used the key to unlock the
front door, which creaked open
with a mournful groan. They
stepped inside, their senses
overwhelmed by the smell of
mildew and decay.
The cottage was in ruins, its
furniture broken and covered in
dust. The walls were peeling, and
the roof was leaking.
But despite its dilapidated condition,
the cottage retained a sense of
charm and beauty. Ellie and Liam
could imagine Eliza living there,
painting her landscapes and
dreaming of a future with Alistair.
They searched the cottage for any
sign of Eliza's treasure. They
examined every room, every closet,
and every drawer.
They finally found something
hidden beneath the floorboards in
the living room: a locked chest. Don't forget to leave a Comment
