It was the peak of the summer and Pete and his friends had scheduled to go camping during the summer break. Pete had been anticipating the opportunity to go on such an adventure with his friends after all the job hunting stress. And to top it all off, his parents had just gone on a business trip. So no unnecessary questions and worries.

After all the weeks of anticipation, the day had finally came and Pete had packed his bags. He called out on his best buddies Trish and Jade who were also his next door neighbors. They all converged and took the public bus down to the public park to meet the others.

Upon getting there, everyone was already set and waiting for them to arrive so they can walk down into the woods. The little cottage where they were to stay was owned by one of his colleagues. When they got there, Pete and his buddies quickly choose a bunk for themselves so they can stay close to each other as they don't really trust the others.

The whole setting promised to be a really good experience and Pete couldn't wait to get started. The house was surrounded with perfectly trimmed grass and fruit trees. There was also a small pool at the back with a small sandy ground just before the bush.

Pete suspected that, that was where the camp fire would be started as there was a hip of firewood by the small detached structure east of the camp house.

As the sun began to settle, one of the boys suggested that they went out hunting since they were already in the woods. Pete was excited and curious as he's never been hunting before. He relished the experience and they all went into the woods with tools like knives and sticks since they did not plan for it before hand.

Chit chatting as the scoured the woods, the did not know how far they've gone into the bush untill Pete noticed a scanty, old and creaky looking building a few meters away. Calling on the others, Pete pointed to the building and suggested that they go check it out. His suggestion was met with stiff opposition, with majority of the others suggesting they return to the camp house.

"nothing good can come out of that building" one of the boys shouted.

"it looks like a haunt house" another agreed.

"I didn't come here to die please. Let's go back" the boy who's father owns the camp house commanded.

Pete turning to his buddies, tried to convince them to follow him to the house. His buddies agreed and they tiptoed into the building. It's old door creaked, and with it came a voice from the study behind the living room.

Pete and his friends were startled by the ancient but elegant decor of the interior which was in complete contrast to the dilapidated exterior.

"who's there?" the weary voice called out

Confused of what to do Pete replied "it's uu.uus"

"You who?" the voices called again "come in here"

Pete and his fried found their way into the study and they found the old man who looked wearied and tired. The man asked what they were doing so far into the bush. Pete and his friend told the man how they got there. At this, the old man narrated how he had moved away from the main town due to its pollution and come to stay here with nature and enjoy his retirement.

He had lived here for years, invested all he had in the house and had purposed that anyone who finds him, will get the house as the interior decor was worth a fortune. Since it was Pete and his friends that found his, he handed over the house to them. Pete and his friends were startled and excited.

With this, they knew that their job hunting days were over and they can start their exotic car rentals business.

Describe what you see

I see a seemingly abandoned and worthless structure that has been left to the whims of nature

Describe what you feel

I feel like it's an ancient building that can be filled with expensive antiques and cannot be dismissed on face value.
