Searching The Marked Spots

With marked locations in hand, we headed to the library, diving into microfiche and dusty old records. Each site appeared in places otherwise known for their unremarkable obscurity, which only added to the intrigue. “Funny how these spots keep turning up,” Smith remarked, his brow furrowed as we flipped through brittle, yellowed pages. Despite the passage of time clouding the details, our path was becoming clearer. A trail was emerging—gradual and elusive, like whispers of the past revealing long-buried secrets.

Maybe that old hunting cabin held the answers we’d been chasing.
