I woke up at 4 am, I usually don’t and my head spins as if I just came out of turbulence. Last Night, was quite hectic, I had to work late hours due to my leave. My mom was to be taken into medical care due to her current illness. Life feels seemingly hard nowadays.

I got ready at around 08:00 and had to leave for work urgently due to the current meeting plans for the new branch. I am the head of our department and It pays you well but the work isn’t as easy as it seems. The early mornings and late nights take a toll on you, but I consider myself a hard-working and enthusiastic person. My mom used to tell me in my younger days that I am a hyperactive kid. My colleagues are impressed by my energy. It’s weird how time flies by.

I remember an incident from my younger days, I was always an explorer, and once my friends and I decided to go into a forest which was about 2 miles from home. It was, If I remember correctly, Friday 16th July. The forest wasn’t my concern, to be honest, what I wanted to see was the old building that was partially constructed there. There had been rumors that whosoever goes there doesn’t return ever, I never believed it but out of curiosity, I wanted to explore it. It was the 4 of us and we reached the forest at about 12:40 in the afternoon. 2 wanted to explore the building which had rumors and the other 2 were scared, therefore, we split into two. I and Phil went to explore the building whereas the other two went into the forest to explore their curiosity. Boys back then were explorers and loved going out and our parents were also quite happy for us being curious and exploring ourselves. Nowadays, I hardly see any children, Time doesn’t even feel real now.

There isn’t much I remember but there is one event that happened to me in that building while exploring it. There were 3 floors to it and the first one was fine, in general. It was a joint stairway-connected building and it had nothing except the basic model of a building, only cement, and bricks. As I was climbing the next stairway to the second floor, I fell after 5-6 steps and I tripped, I was unconscious because I might have hurt my head but the part that to date is a mystery is when I woke up, I did not wake up in the stairway of the building but rather on the ground next to it and it was evening, so the time was quite well and I searched for Phil and I couldn’t find him or anyone, out of any hope I simply went back to my bicycle and rode home as it was getting dark and I did not want to be scolded. I thought Phil had gone to get help and the others went back too, so I did not mind it and simply rode back home. I did inform Phil that I made it home and he didn’t have to worry, he was relieved and happy to see me and I never asked any further. Incidents give you stories.

Well, back to this week, This week was very fulfilling and lovely, I have been progressing greatly at work and I love how I have been able to make friends and interact with people after shifting to a New Town, It has been around 2 months and I feel quite happy and being an introvert my whole life, this gives me anxiety but on the other makes me happy too. Oh, I have been working for quite some while now at my company and there is someone I would like to write down as an entry and that is a girl, her name is Samantha, she has been working for about a year in this company and we have been getting along very well, it feels ‘At Home’ with her. I will be proposing to her for a date soon, this might be my chance. I am nervous but on the other hand, I feel opening up isn’t that bad. As I said, I have been an introvert my whole life and haven’t had any interactions with such. I grew up in a small town and lived between Nature. It will take time but I have complete faith and trust in myself. Events give you memories.”

The following you read was a letter or a journal recovered from a 32-unit apartment complex in New York that burned down on Thursday night. It comes from a man named Shawn Michaels, he was a resident in this building since April 2012, upon further investigation it was found that he was a young, hardworking man and was quite self-reserved as a personality. 130 people lost their homes due to the fire. There are many unanswered questions regarding this incident. What caused the fire?

Who informed the fire department? How did everything burn down and only this specific letter was left? Apart from some words being torn due to the condition of the letter, everything remained intact and was easily recovered. It feels as if someone intentionally placed this letter there and at such a precise moment that except for some parts of it, nothing else burnt down. It was as if someone wanted it to be read or maybe this is just a presumable scenario that we took into consideration.

The investigation wasn’t long and was concluded to be a hot pipe outburst that caused the fire, the investigation stopped and everyone was given new homes for the time being till the building recovered with adequate measures. A letter of warning was sent to the owner on behalf of the safety of residents and the construction began soon enough.

The case which we thought was closed, had not even begun yet.

The case got interesting when there was a report of a missing plane near the coast of Namibia, the Atlantic Ocean. Boeing 782, traveling from New York to South Africa, a direct flight was found missing and no intel was to be recovered from the crew of the plane. It took off on 14 July 2012 at 16:07 and was supposed to land on 16 July 2012 at 03:48. It did not land nor could it be traced on the radar, its last location was in between the Atlantic Ocean about 2500 KM from Brazil. There was an investigation that took place 5 months, the military even got involved but there was no clue or evidence that could prove where or how the plane had disappeared. After the 6th month of the tireless and hopeless investigation, the case was closed.

The media was informed that it was a hijack and there are no clues of any sort where the plane has been taken, there was a story that was made up by the uppers which stated that the plane was crashed somewhere in Antarctica and it can’t be recovered easily but the research team has been sent to investigate. This was surely a lie because we had no answers at all, nothing could explain this and this wasn’t the first case of such, there was a case of Boeing 707 and many small planes, that just disappeared around the world without any trace or evidence, years and years of investigation and there was no clue nor sign. The US alone spent 150 Million dollars along with many other countries that had their planes disappear. Many conspiracy theorists came up and said that there’s a monster, time travel and some even said there was a wormhole that had opened there. Weird.

The Science behind these events was unclear and it remained a mystery for a long time, the case remained closed for a long time until 8 January 2015, when we found something that opened a whole new aspect and gave us hope for this case, it wouldn’t solve the case but it did give us a clue and made us investigate further into this case and maybe, just maybe this mystery might be revealed into something that would make sense. While randomly going through some files Zack and I found something that opened our eyes, we connected something weird but the gut instinct within us pointed to something which was yet unclear but investigating it deeper would make sense. This happened when randomly I was going through the Boeing 782 case files and Zack was going through the case of the 32-unit apartment complex that had burnt down near San Antonio. I was going through the passenger list and I found something, a name very familiar, Shawn Michaels. At first glance, I could not remember this name but then it suddenly clicked and I found that this guy was a resident of the burnt down building and this guy’s letter was the only one that was left intact whereas everything burnt down to ashes. We had found the only piece of evidence or clue that could give us some leads, that could give us hope. Zack and I examined and confirmed it was indeed the same Shawn Michaels in both the cases, It was this guy that was one of our very first prime suspects for this case. The intact letter wasn’t with us apparently, it was sent to another department for further analysis of the letter. We sent a request for a print-out of the respective letter for our investigation on Shawn Michaels.
