The Grimoire | A 100 Word Story

#288 Creatures of the Night

Buried for thousands of years where no one could find it, Sir Reginald ordered his slaves to dig fifty feet below the surface of where they stood. It was on a map marked by ancestors and handed down to the women of his family for safekeeping.

While his mother grieved the loss of her only daughter, he stole the map to uncover her dark secret.

After the slaves dug their way to the entrance they stopped. Refusing to go any further. Sir Reginald pushed past them to discover a book. His laughter was so loud it caused a massive cave-in.
