3. The Bracelet

I glanced at the bracelet kept on the table. I still remember how I found it with John while digging the backyard when we used to live in California. I kept this bracelet since then. It seemed as a mystery in itself, I felt lucky whenever I wore it. It's elegant beads were so eye catching, maybe that is why good luck seemed to be so attracted towards it. I shoved all the thoughts aside and wore it gently. I rushed back downstairs with my charger.

"Cash! Cash! See those trees, they are so tall !", my brother screamed at the top of his lungs. "Shut up John! Don't act like you have never seen trees before in your life.", I shouted back at my little brother. He was such a silly boy! I looked through my car window and felt happy to gaze at those huge trees, These trees are really popular in California. Looking at them reminded me of uncle Aaron. He was really tall but obviously not as tall as those trees.

"How much more time will it take Dad?", I asked my father. My father told me that it wouldn't take much time as the country side was only 5 miles away. I felt quite relaxed. I really enjoyed long journeys but today I was feeling a little fatigued. I kept gazing out of my windows. The trees seemed to be running backwards as if scared to collide with each other.

After few moments we reached our destination. My father parked the car outside a black gate that seemed familiar. I immediately rushed out of the car and hugged my Aunt. Uncle smiled looking at us but was there something creepy about that smile?
