Dale Hufford from Baltimore took the flight to Lobetal, Germany to visit his friend Mike Peters. The two were childhood friends and were about to see each other after a very long time. It was already December and the Christmas was around the corner. Dale was going to spend his Christmas with Mike this time. But that was not the only reason he was visiting Mike. The real reason was something else. Mike had told him about a couple of pipes that were sticking out of the ground of the jungle nearing his house. Well, finding the pipes was a weird thing as no one had visited that place since ages. The two decided to investigate.
Their investigation took an interesting turn when they found out a tunnel that led to an unexpected end. The two curious beings kept on penetrating into the dark tunnel with enthusiasm till they sensed the presence of a stranger. And from there on, a slew of strange events began to occur that turned their most awaited adventure into a nightmare.
Flying To Mystery
Mike himself was an adventurous person. He had gong on many adventures but never dared to go near those two pipes that had been protruding out of the ground in a forest close to his house. The boy had been noticing it for many years and even once thought of exploring the area but for some strange reason, he could not do so. It seemed like nature did not want him to go any further. The place gave a weird vibe. But was he going to give up so easily?
Protruding Pipes
The place where he found the protruding pipes had something very strange about it. Nobody used to visit that place. It was an all deserted place with no humans, animals or even insects moving around. Mike had never seen any. These all strange facts tempted him a lot to explore the place and that is when he told Dale about it. Well, Dale was as adventurous as Mike was.
Plans
Dale got very excited when he learned about the strange pipes. He immediately planned on visiting him. Their schedule was planned. The duo was going to spend their holidays exploring the mystery tucked under the ground. But was it a wise idea? Well, the duo had no idea what they were going to start would have the most unwelcoming end. It was going to change their lives forever. And the beginning was already made.
Jungle
The region was inside the dense forest. That included one of the reasons why nobody would go to the place. And perhaps very few people had spotted the pipes including Mikes. The curiosity had taken the best of him. The first question that had popped up inside his mind was what the pipes were doing there where there was no trace of any human activity.
Tomorrow
Dale reached Mike’s place in a few hours. As the evening had already fallen, the two decided to visit the place tomorrow. The sun rose the next day and the two set off to the forest. The boys already had their breakfast and had planned to be done exploring the region before lunch. But as they say, sometimes things happen exactly opposite of how you plan.
Here It Comes
In no time Mike and Dale found themselves standing before the large and enigmatic forest. Mike who had visited the place a number of times were well familiar with its routes. The signal of their phone got to weaken as they started going deep into the forest. Not only that, there were no signposts around. They had to make it to the mysterious pipes on their own.
