The Abandoned city
It was a cold eerie day with fog hiding the mountain tops. I was exploring the jungle I had been on a expedition with about four explorers. One had fell and had broken his leg from slipping. So I was determined to find the abandoned building that I had read about after the war.
After five blustery wet days of treacherous conditions I had finally got to the abandoned city of the Amazon. I was excited but it sent a shiver down my spine to think what surprises it might hold. I slowly crept into the door I heard a growling noise from the corner I un-holstered my Bowie knife and my revolver and backed away firming my grip to my knife but suddenly two pumas pounced out at me. Fire-ring off warning shots they ran out and left me.
After treating my wounds I went to the neighbouring buildings in search of the golden tooth. It smelt musty and damp. While running my hand on the crusty wall I realised one of the tiles did not feel the same and had a key hole . So I thought of what I could do I searched the room after rubbing the layer of dust off a old photo frame it was a strange emperor but there was a lump behind the photo I tore open the frame to find a necklace with a shaped stone on the end with no thought I inserted the stone in to the key hole and stepped back dust rose up like leaves on a windy autumn day a one meter tunnel appeared so I climb through the cave.
It opened up into a room it seemed odd after taking thirty seconds of searching. A snake arose not moving far from my position two men climbed out of the tunnel it was the two explorers they had got the other explorer to safety. Then after the good news was put to a end they gasped. One of them reacted fast killing the snake with one bullet. One of the explorers went to examine the snake carcass he fell down a trap door. As we went to look at what had happen to him we saw a old rotten ladder leading into darkness turning on our lamps we climbed down to find not only the explore but mountains of gold. My grin took up the room amazed that we would now be rich and famous.
