The Cabin was DesertedI was wandering around the woods for hours when suddenly, I saw a cabin in the distance. When I reached the cabin I noticed that it was deserted and forgotten for years. I entered the cabin and searched the four stories for any sign of life...nothing, absolutley nothing, except for dust and snow that slipped through the cracks in the ceiling. Later I walked out to explore the surrounding area when I saw and abandoned shed.
I opened the shed and saw a letter that was written in Russian. Since I couldn't read it I left it and walked back into the life-forsaken cabin. When I set up my sleeping bag next to the old, rocky, and weathered fireplace I noticed a small rope right at the entrance to the fireplace. I pulled the rough rope and a board cover was removed from the molded creaky floor. Curiosity kicked in and I decided to enter the dark abyss with my flashlight.
When I entered I saw that there were vaults that stretched for five miles all over the abyss. I wen't back up to fetch some explosives to blow the vault open to get what was inside. After all the explosives were added, I ran out of the cabin when a giant explosion erupted beneath the ground. When I hopped back into the abyss all the vault doors were down and small cases were inside. I wen't to a case that was written on in english that said "Be warned intruder! if any of these Diamonds are removed, we will find you and you will be punished severely!" I decided that it was a bluff and began to grab every case I could and pile them o up outside.

As the cases were mounting, I called my friend to pick me up and bring his U-haul with him, and also to stack up on fuel since it would take several trips. I couldn't believe all the diamonds I found, I began to dream of a life of wealth, with a grand house, beautiful beaches, and most importantly, lots of women(I couldn't wait for that part!) then in the distance I heard a truck rumbling through the forest soon followed by several more. "My friend must have got some support" I thought as I rested on the crates that I spent grueling hours stacking. Suddenly, the trucks formed a circle around me in the distance and then accelerated to my area around the cabin.
Seconds later I saw five armoured cars carrying soldiers surround me and point their guns at me. A man in uniform approached me and as he did, so did the soldiers who were pointing their guns five feet away from me. " You have commited a great offense to Russia." The officer said with malice. " We spent years gathering these diamonds from African expeditions, into hostile enviroments and war-zones." "You will pay dearly for this." Two soldiers then grabbed me and threw me in the back of one of the trucks, where my friend was tied up and bruised severely.
" You friend just told us everything about you on the way here, you also set of a silent alarm when you removed the board in the cabin." the soldier chuckled. The soldier shut the back of the truck when the officer said, "Dimitri, Vladimir, Yosolov, have your men send these diamonds to Vosogrod imediatley." I heard him then say to the truck driver. "Take them to the Siberian prison, then later, they will learn the true horror of those who attempt to steal from Russia."
As far as I knew, my life's journey was over, and that old deserted cabin should have been left deserted.By, Austin
