Chapter 23 The Journal

• Brianne' Journal...
• While exploring the hidden room, my heart raced and I felt like I was uncovering a secret meant to be kept hidden. The smell of antiquity and decay permeated the air, as flickering candles created spooky shadows on the walls. I felt like an outsider, an invader in a realm not meant for me to investigate. However, I needed to discover the reality. I needed to find out the secret he was keeping.
• The papers were spread out on the table, a few with unfamiliar symbols and codes that I couldn't understand. However, the pictures...ah, the pictures. They were the most dreadful. They displayed individuals whom I didn't recognize, with expressions of agony and dread on their faces. And next came the videos. I couldn't bear to see them, but the noises...the noises sent a chill down my spine.
