but it didn’t help muting the sounds.

Eventually she noticed a small button on the side of the box she pressed the button and the terrible sound faded. Adele sat there shocked and amazed thinking what was all that, until suddenly the box started playing an old beautiful music. Adele opened it to see were is it coming from and there was a huge surprise, she found a young pretty lady playing guitar and seem to be enjoying it. Adele freaked out for a second since this lady wasn’t in the box the first time she opened it, In that moment Adele decided to return the box from where she got it as a result of all this strange events that had been happening since she brought it. She closed the box gently and hid back to the field lookin to the hole they made to take the box out. After hours of looking she had finally found it, but this time it wasn’t an empty hole as they left it, there was a red card with game board. Adele took them out and started scanning them both until she found out that the box and those two items are all together an old game that has been created by young citizens who used to live around here. The cards included terms and conditions for playing the game and the box was meant to be opened after finishing every level in the game. Adele thought to her self should I take it with me Home or is it suspicious enough to leave it right where I took it out from!

Adele decided to leave all the stuff in the hole and not taking them back with her because she thought that maybe this isn’t a regular game maybe it’s like the Jimanji take where the game swallows the participants into it and force them to things in prefer to survive and go back to the real world.

In the end Adele returns back home feeling a little bit curious about what would have happened if she just played one time in that game, using her imagination, she started dreaming of the young lady as a character in the game story, in addition she started thinking that the sound of screaming was nothing but sound affects in the game themes. The only one thing Adele was sure about that one day someone brave enough will find this game and start palm it with no fears.

Well yes this is where this story ends, I know you probably have been waiting for a happy ending, but that just it why not end the story with some curiosity that will make you think about it for the end of the day, and who knows maybe you will be like Adele and dream with her about the game
