Boy Finds Hatch in Backyard, Then His Father Sees Where It Goes

Only one way to find out

Father and son stared at the wooden hatch, both equally intrigued. “What do you think is under there?” Cody asked, his eyes wide with wonder. Ben shook his head. “There’s only one way to find out,” he replied. He placed his hand next to Cody’s, their fingers brushing against the rough wood. Together, they heaved the hatch upward, revealing the darkness beneath. Their shared excitement momentarily replaced the unease in Ben’s chest.
