The Journey of Dan Smith


Dan Smith was just an average man who had the same old boring job of sitting behind a desk. From a coworkers point of view it would seem as if he were the most boring person ever. What his peers did't know was his true dream. That dream was to go on an adventure to a jungle in the Middle of Guyana. His intentions of going there were simple. His family had past down a map from generation to generation. Dan didn't know exactly what it led to but he did know it was something special that his family had left for future findings. The only thing holding him back was the ability to make friends. He just needed two people that would be willing to go on a dangerous adventure in the middle of nowhere. After work Dan goes to the library to read about the agriculture of Guyana. He has been talking to the librarian, Lauren Jemni, for a while and he is thinking about asking her to come with him. Once he finally got the nerve to ask her she accepted. Luckily she also got her sister to come along.

Thursday October 3rd is when they left. They had to find a private pilot to take them to the middle of the Guyana's jungles. Once they arrived they had to be personally driven to the starting point of Dan's map. They got driven by a young man in his little 4 door jeep. The jungle they drove through was as cluttered as the streets of Las Vegas.
" Do you know know when we are going to get there?" said Lauren's sister, Rebecca. 

"We will be there in under 15 minutes" said the driver.   

By the time they got there everyone had decided that they would want to make camp for sleep so they would have full energy in the morning. 

"Ahh alright guys lets eat breakfast and then head out for the day" said Dan.

" My map says that we better head north for at least 10 miles to find our next checkpoint'' Dan said.

" Alright then lets get moving!" said the anxious Karen.

They had reached there destination bu there was a problem. There was nothing around them but a big circle of open dirt. Dan held the map up to the light as if it was going to show some kind of hidden path. ''Nothing". Rebecca pointed at a tree with a confused face.
'' There! I think I saw light flicker from the stump of that tree"

With extreme effort they managed to peel the bark off the tree. What happened next was one of the most astonishing things any of them had ever experienced. There in the middle of the jungle was a ladder in the inside of a tree leading straight down into a very bright pit.

" Well lets go" said Rebecca. 

When they got to the bottom there was a hallway that led to a pit of gold. Or at least stuff that looked like gold.

" Does this stuff feel a little fake to any of you guys"

At that moment he realized was a trap. The ceiling caved in and they were all killed at impact.
