Twist In The Tale

If the story was just about a family shifting from one place to another, then you wouldn’t be reading it, right? Then what different was going to happen that made this story special? Well, it was the most unexpected thing anyone could ever think of! Can you guess what it maybe? It was the hatch that lay under the layers of dust and grass, which was forgotten almost a decade ago. What mystery did it hold?

Forgotten

It had been a decade and since then the hatch was there in the backyard, no one took the time to open it up and see what lay inside it. For the family, it was just a hatch and nothing else. But was it so? Well after a decade, Carol decided to clean up her house. While she was doing so, she saw the hatch. For a minute, she stood there numb and several thoughts were running inside her mind.

Always On Mind

Since day one, the hatch was always in the back of their minds. But it was so filthy that they didn’t have the strength to clean it up and see what was inside it. But now when they were cleaning the whole house, they thought of hatch too. When Carol saw it, she was just thinking how would she clean this mess up. The hatch had dust piled up on it and she was reluctant to open it up. The reason behind it was obvious, she was afraid that there might be some insects that could bite her. Would she still open the hatch?

A Decade Later

She was just standing in front of the hatch when she felt her husband coming from behind. He asked her as to why she was standing still. She told him that she was doubtful about what the hatch might contain. He was sure to clean up the backyard so he went ahead and started to pull out the grass.

The Grass

Because it had been years, the grass had covered its surface, hence it was taking their all efforts to pull the grass out. But now there was no going back, they had made up their mind to clean the hatch. The couple was all set to unravel the truth that was hidden inside the hatch for years. Would they be able to find it out?

Tornado Shelter?

The hatch had never been a center of attention for the family members before. They didn’t even try to question the realtor about the same and hence they didn’t have any idea what it contained. Carol at first, thought that it was a tornado shelter. But her husband ruled out the possibility by saying that the town had never faced any tornado as per the records. Then what was inside the hatch?
