Chapter 8

Sasha sat at her window on the second floor and stared, almost in a daze, at the shed. What she expected to see, no one knows but she was fixated on it.

John and Terry sat down on their bed and the discussion began, "Honey, something crazy happened."

Terry scratched her head, "What could have been so crazy that we need to sit here and talk about it?"

John braced himself, ensuring his mind that he wasn't crazy, "Well, we found a treasure chest."

"Oh really, that's super cool." Terry had yet to be filled in on the crazy part.

John shifted closer to his wife, brushing back her hair behind her ear, "Hear me out. This chest was impossible to move. I couldn't make it budge."

Terry scrunched her face, "Well, how did it get here? I assume that is what Sasha put in the shed."

John smiled, "Well, it floated like a feather for her. Effortless. It also talks."

Terry scoffed, "John, I'm all for jokes but what's the point of this one?"

John held her hand, his trembled over top of hers, "Men showed up, FBI maybe, and tried to stop us. The box melted their car and made them disappear."

Terry didn't speak. She was beginning to grasp the levity of the situation. John was telling the truth.

Sasha could hear them discussing the chest but her eyes never broke from the shed. It was clearly a significant finding and possibly the greatest thing ever found in the history of the world.

John and Terry went into Sasha's room, "Come here kiddo, let's go show mommy what we found."

The three of them walked to the shed, each uneasy for different reasons.

Together they entered the white tattered shed with hesitation, well, at least John and Terry did. Sasha was practically sprinting.

There really was no way of preparing Terry for what she was about to witness so why explain things when you can show it off.

Sasha motioned her father over to the chest, "Go ahead Daddy, try to lift it up."

John bent a knee after grabbing both metal handles. With all his might he slowly applied as much lift as possible to the chest. As you guessed, it didn't budge. Not a millimeter.

After wiping his brow, "Alright Sasha, let's show Mommy what you got."

John grabbed Terry's hand gently as Sasha proceeded to single handedly levitate the chest from the shed floor.

Terry's reaction was far more excited than expected.
