A Surprizing Turn of Events

Ally looked into one of the rooms and gasped. “John, come look at this.” John was at her side in an instant. “What is it?” He asked as he turned to look into the room. A sudden astonished look crossed his face. “Wow.”

“It looks like some kind of collector’s room.” John walked into the room and looked around at all of the ancient artifacts around him. “I wonder who used to live here…”
