A Journey

A day visit to her home town turned out to be adventurous and remarkable for Sandra. She was accompanied by her best friend, Anna They have been together since they were in college. Anna left her husband for the weekend to follow her best friend on an escortion to her home town. Sophia's home town is known for their traditional beliefs and practices. They believed that the spirit of their fore fathers is still among them. Despite the amusing sculptures and other work of arts in different places in the town there are certain places that are not to be entered by a stranger. Rumours keep flying around about strange occurrences that happen to those who enter inside the room. Unknown to Sandra and her friend. They were so excited to see amusing things, nature, arts and crafts.

Their first visit was to Sandra's paternal grandfather. He gave them a warm welcome, he was so happy to see his grand daughter after many years. He told them different stories and tales. After a long rest. they proceeded to checking the beauty of the town. They first check the king's palace, to see different arts and sculptures put in place. They went to see the biggest river where children were seen playing at the egde of the river. They climbed mountains and hills and had so much fun. They decided to call it a day because it was already late. They planned to stay with grandfather till the next morning.

However, on their way back home, they saw a cave and decided to check it out. Sandra was a fearless young lady. When they got there the cave was closed. There was a stone rolled at the entrance of the cave. Anna persuaded Sandra that they should leave but Sandra insisted on staying until they find a means of getting inside. They succedded in rolling away the stone and finding the entrance. Its creepy and dark. Anna was already scared but Sandra assured her that nothing will happen. They switched on their phone's flash light and made their way inside. Not long, after they heard a loud bang from behind, the stone rolled back and blocked the entrance.

They made several attempt to get out but failed. The connection to their phone was lost so they couldn't call anyone. They sat close to eachother, frightened and exhausted. Anna keeps crying while Sandra keeps consoling her to be calm. Their phones battery will soon be down so the only light they have will soon be off.

Fortunately, Sandra's grandfather had been expecting their arrival because it was already late he sensed something was wrong so he head out with some men in search of the young ladies. After several hours of searching, they found a female purse at the entrance of the cave, it probably fell down from Sandra's bag while bringing out her phone. They successfully rescued them. Unknown to them that it was part of the room that strangers are not allowed to enter. Fortunately nothing happened to them. The rumours were just a groundless one.
