After days of digging, the resistance of his shovel alerted him to a solid object beneath the earth’s surface. Intrigued, he continued his excavation, unearthing a colossal artifact whose identity eluded him initially. Mark decided to sleep on it, allowing his subconscious to mull over the mysterious find. In the dead of night, sudden enlightenment struck, as he recognized the true nature of the object. Without hesitation, Mark promptly dialed the authorities, urgently seeking their assistance.

When the police arrived at the house, their hearts raced with anticipation. The door stood ajar, revealing a glimpse of the unknown that awaited them inside. Detective Mark, consumed by a mix of curiosity and apprehension, had intentionally withheld vital information. He yearned for confirmation from his colleagues before confirming his worst fears. A glimmer of hope flickered within him, desperately clinging to the possibility that the ominous metal object was not the sinister weapon he had envisioned.

However, the very moment the officer laid eyes on it, the realization struck Mark like a lightning bolt. Deep down, a knowingness surged within him, confirming his unwavering conviction.

What had he stumbled upon that would require such secrecy? Only time would reveal the answers, but for now, the weight of anticipation hung heavy in the air.

A Pool

Mark’s wife Patricia had been persistently nagging him for nearly 5 long years about fulfilling the promise he made to get a pool in the garden when they first purchased their house. Little did she know that the reason for his prolonged delay was not just sheer laziness, but rather, an intrinsic reluctance to invest his energy into the demanding process of pool installation.

However, with the passage of time, Mark finally came to realize that there was simply no way to evade this imminent and inevitable task any longer.

There’s A Problem

They had made the tough decision not to go on vacation that summer, and as a result, he found himself with an abundance of free time at his disposal for the year. Realizing that this might be a rare opportunity, he contemplated the possibility of embarking on a project he had been postponing for far too long. With a goal in mind, he set himself a target of completing it within a span of about three weeks.

However, little did he know that this undertaking would prove to be more challenging than anticipated, as he encountered a series of unexpected roadblocks that he found himself unable to tackle independently…

They Started Digging

The first step in making the pool was to diligently dig out a substantial hole in the lush garden, with the sun casting its warm rays overhead. Meticulously planning the project, Mark, a thrifty individual who wanted to save some money, took it upon himself to spearhead this endeavor. With resolute determination, he enlisted the assistance of his two enthusiastic sons, Toby and Brian, eagerly embracing the opportunity to contribute to a memorable family project that would create indelible memories.

A Metal Was Found

On the second day of incessant digging, Mark had almost achieved the desired depth for the hole. Beads of sweat dripped from his furrowed brow as his muscles strained with each thrust of the shovel. Nevertheless, a sudden pang of anxiety surged through him when the shovel’s metallic clang resonated through the air, distinctive from the familiar sound of wood. Was it possible that he unintentionally impaled the underground plumbing system concealed beneath the property?

Bewilderment overcame him as he pondered the enigma. The distinct metallic reverberation, once again, questioned the limits of plausibility.

Nothing Here

He had meticulously reviewed the documentation beforehand, which explicitly stated that any plumbing and electricity should be positioned at least half a meter below the current location. Additionally, he had deliberately chosen this precise spot due to the assurance that no pipes would be passing below this point.

Nothing Here

Thus, the baffling question persisted: What unexpected object or obstruction did Mark unintentionally encounter? This perplexing discovery left him pondering the mysterious entity that lay beneath.

Digging It Out

In the next hour of determinedly trying to dig out the mysterious metal obstacle buried deep within the ground, Mark quickly established with each shovel scrape that he was not dealing with mere pipes or ordinary debris. No, this object was of much greater magnitude and significance than he initially anticipated. Its immense size and unknown origin left him in awe, filling him with an insatiable curiosity that drove him to continue digging.

With every passing moment, the enigma grew deeper as they puzzled over its peculiar features.

As he stood there, his curious mind racing with possibilities, a mixture of intrigue and trepidation swirled within him. He knew deep down that this peculiar object held secrets and untold stories, waiting to be unearthed by someone brave enough to dare.

The construction process seemed to drag on forever, and he was growing increasingly impatient. All he wanted was to get this damn pool over and done with. The thought of having a relaxing swim in his backyard and enjoying some quality time with his family brought a genuine smile to his face. However, there was a catch.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” The weight of those words echoed in his head, reverberating through his thoughts like a thunderstorm. At that moment, reality crashed down around him, engulfing him in a wave of disbelief and bewilderment.
