βI should have listened to the warnings. Everyone in town knew about the old house on Maple Street, but I thought they were just superstitious. I was wrong.β
βThe coffee shop was packed that Tuesday morning. I almost left, but then I saw themβreading my favorite book in the corner booth. Our eyes met, and somehow, I knew everything was about to change.β
βSo there I was, standing in front of 200 people in my pajamas. Not metaphorically. Actual pajamas. With little dinosaurs on them. Let me explain how this happened...β
βThe package arrived on a Tuesday. No return address. No name. Just six words scrawled on brown paper: 'You have 48 hours. Find it.'β
βThree missed calls. Two voicemails. One text that simply read: 'Run.' I grabbed my keys and didn't look back.β
βThe day I turned sixteen, my shadow started moving on its own. Not following meβleading me. Toward the forest everyone said didn't exist.β
βThe signal had been traveling for 4.2 billion years before we found it. What it said changed everything we thought we knew about being alone.β
βMom's last words weren't 'I love you.' They were coordinates. Numbers I didn't understand until I found the letter hidden in her jewelry box.β
βThe map was fakeβI knew that. But the treasure it led to was very, very real. And so were the people who wanted it more than I did.β
βEvery morning at 7:14, she orders the same thing. Black coffee, no sugar. And every morning, I almost say hello. Today was different.β
