Having entered the dusty old barn, Gemma
0:02
stood in front of it. It still annoyed
0:04
her that she had not gotten as much as
0:05
her siblings, but she felt there was
0:07
more to it than she realized. As soon as
0:09
she found the scrolled note on the back
0:11
of an old photo, she had to look closer.
0:13
Gemma had doubts despite her trust in
0:15
her father and the knowledge that he
0:16
would never intentionally steer her
0:18
astray. These were the writings of a man
0:20
on the verge of death. Is it possible
0:22
that they were just the writings of a
0:23
madman? Could some of what he said be
0:25
true? It was up to her to find out.

0:34
It had been decades since the old barn
0:36
had been used. There was no maintenance
0:38
being done and everything was run down.
0:41
What made him want to give his daughter
0:42
this inheritance while his sons received
0:44
so much more? She used her phone torch
0:46
for light while staring around the old
0:47
rotting hay bait. There was a strange
0:49
smell in the air, but she didn't realize
0:51
how close she was to the truth. Gemma
0:53
searched the barn for an hour without
0:55
finding anything unusual. She was on the
0:57
verge of giving up. She even climbed the
0:59
dilapidated ladder to check out the old
1:01
loft as a last resort. She found nothing
1:03
there, but it gave her a different
1:05
perspective. As she stared at the barn
1:06
floor, she wished she knew why her
1:08
father had left her this old place. Her
1:10
eyes were opened at that moment. Her
1:12
bird's eyee view now allowed her to see
1:14
something she could not have seen on the
1:16
ground. There was something hidden
1:18
between the hay bales and the wall. Her
1:19
hands trembled when she realized there
1:21
must have been a reason for hiding it.
1:23
Upon seeing the hidden doors, she hopped
1:25
down from the loft and raced towards
1:27
them. After much struggle, Gemma managed
1:29
to push one of the hay bales to one side
1:31
and see what was hidden beneath. A
1:32
cellar door led her to believe there was
1:34
a deep underground passageway. The old
1:36
door squeaked as she pulled them. The
1:38
doors weren't even locked, which
1:40
surprised her. She saw a set of stairs
1:42
as she looked down into the earth. There
1:44
was no way she could escape its
1:45
darkness. As Gemma descended the old
1:48
staircase, she decided to be brave.
1:50
Under the stairs, she realized they had
1:52
gone on for much longer than they should
1:54
have. As she followed the stairs, she
1:56
found herself deep underground. In the
1:58
end, she found herself in a concrete
2:00
room. There must have been 15 ft of
2:02
underground space. Compared to what
2:04
awaited her, that was nothing. During
2:06
her search for an old light switch,
2:08
Gemma came across one. She assumed it
2:10
would also be broken, like the one in
2:12
the barn. Her eyes were filled with
2:13
light as she flicked it up. It was now
2:15
clear to her what the small room was
2:17
for. She collapsed to her knees, seeing
2:19
what her father had hidden from the
2:20
world. Why would he do such a thing? She
2:23
only knew that her life would never be
2:24
the same. When Gemma Miller was growing
2:26
up, she felt lucky. She had a loving
2:29
family, which is not the case for
2:30
everyone. In an unorthodox environment,
2:33
she grew up with her two brothers.
2:34
Throughout Gemma's childhood, her
2:36
grandfather, Peter Miller, worked hard
2:38
to maintain his farm. Her dad was
2:40
nothing like him, and the farm would not
2:42
remain the same forever. Whenever Gemma
2:44
and her parents visited their
2:46
grandparents, they saw the farm every
2:47
month. Her favorite part of the open
2:49
fields was petting the horses, but she
2:51
didn't know what this place held. The
2:53
place held a special place in her heart,
2:55
and she would never forget it. Peter
2:57
was, however, adamant about one rule.
2:59
Gemma and her brothers were allowed to
3:01
go anywhere they wanted on the farm,
3:03
with one exception. The barn was off
3:05
limits. He told him that it wasn't used
3:07
anymore and it was dangerous to go into.
3:09
Gemma never questioned and obediently
3:11
honored her grandfather's wishes, but
3:13
she didn't know that her time at the
3:14
farm was limited. One day, Gemma's dad,
3:17
Adam, got the call. They rushed to the
3:19
hospital to see her grandfather lying in
3:21
a hospital bed. He didn't have a lot of
3:23
time left. He spoke in a hushed voice to
3:25
Adam and passed him something. It was an
3:27
old photo of the farm. Gemma got to say
3:29
goodbye, but never really recovered. She
3:31
thought of her grandfather often. Now
3:34
that he was gone, the farm would sit
3:36
forever. Unlike Peter, Adam was nothing
3:38
like his father. They got along well and
3:40
loved each other very much. But farmwork
3:43
just wasn't for Adam. From what Gemma
3:44
understood, he moved away to the city to
3:47
live with his mom. This meant that he
3:48
grew up a city boy. Adam was never
3:51
interested in farming. But after their
3:52
hushed exchange, he would visit the farm
3:54
alone. What was he doing? Gemma's
3:57
intrigue and curiosity wouldn't last as
3:59
she focused on all the things kids do
4:01
when they grow up. Soon, she forgot all
4:03
about her dad's visits to the barn from
4:05
when she was a kid. Now an adult, she
4:07
had her own life to live and only
4:09
visited her dad once a month to see how
4:11
he was doing. But she had no idea how
4:13
close a second tragedy was. Adam worked
4:15
hard every day of his life to set up a
4:17
good future for his kids. It allowed
4:19
Gemma to get a good education and
4:21
graduated with high marks. She was
4:23
grateful for everything that he had done
4:24
for her. But that's what made the next
4:26
bit of news she got so much more
4:28
heartbreaking. It couldn't be real.
4:30
Gemma noticed that something wasn't the
4:31
same with her dad. One day, he called
4:34
her and asked her to take him to the
4:35
hospital. They rushed him there and he
4:37
was taken to a doctor, but he refused to
4:39
have her in the room with them. When he
4:41
came out, she already knew what was
4:43
going on. She had seen it once before.
4:45
Over the next few weeks, he only
4:47
deteriorated further. One day, he was
4:49
told he had to stay in the hospital for
4:51
the foreseeable future. Gemma knew what
4:54
that meant. She and her brothers
4:55
gathered around his bed. They all wept
4:57
as they knew it was their final goodbye.
5:00
Gemma was sent reeling. It was something
5:01
she'd never get over. A few months
5:03
later, the inheritance was sorted out
5:05
and her brothers got the estate while
5:07
she got something she didn't expect. He
5:09
gave her the farm. Was it because of the
5:11
fond memory she had? Still, it was worth
5:14
far less than his estate. She felt
5:16
shortchanged, but that's when she found
5:18
the photo that was left to her. The
5:20
photo looked familiar. It was a picture
5:22
of the farm. Then she realized that it
5:24
was the same one her grandfather had
5:26
given him on his deathbed. She didn't
5:28
understand, but then she flipped it
5:30
over. There was a cryptic message on the
5:32
other side and hastily scrolled writing.
5:34
The barn is everything that I leave to
5:36
you. Go to it and remember your
5:38
birthday. Gemma didn't understand, but
5:40
she decided to check it out all the
5:42
same. She drove to the farm for the
5:44
first time in decades. She hadn't seen
5:46
the place since she was a kid. She
5:48
stopped in front of the barn and for the
5:49
first time in her life headed inside.
5:51
Dust coated the air and the lights were
5:53
all broken. It didn't look like
5:55
anything, but she didn't understand that
5:56
the true treasure was underneath her.
5:58
Gemma was now standing inside the dusty
6:00
old bar. She was still feeling annoyed
6:02
by what she had gotten compared to her
6:04
siblings. But she had a feeling that
6:06
there was more to it than meets the eye.
6:07
After finding the hastily written note
6:09
scrolled on the back of an old photo,
6:11
she had to at least take a look. Still,
6:13
although Gemma trusted her father and
6:15
knew he would never intentionally steer
6:16
her astray, she had her doubts about the
6:18
note. They were the writings of a man
6:20
who was just weeks away from death.
6:22
Could they have just been writings of a
6:23
madman? Or was there some truth to what
6:26
he said? The old barn hadn't been used
6:28
for decades. Everything was run down and
6:30
hadn't been maintained. Why would he
6:32
want his daughter to inherit this while
6:33
his sons got so much more? She used her
6:35
phone torch to light the way she steered
6:37
around the old rotting hay bales. There
6:39
was a strange smell in the air, but she
6:41
had no idea how close she was to the
6:43
truth. After scouring the barn for an
6:45
hour, Gemma hadn't found anything out of
6:47
the ordinary. She was close to giving
6:49
up. She had even checked the old loft by
6:50
climbing the dilapidated ladder. There
6:53
was nothing there either, but it did
6:54
give her a different perspective. She
6:56
looked down at the barn floor, wishing
6:58
she knew why her father had left this
6:59
old place to her. That's when she saw
7:02
it. Now, standing above everything else,
7:05
in a bird's eyee view, she saw something
7:07
that she would never have seen on the
7:08
ground. Hidden between the hay bales and
7:11
the wall, there was something. She felt
7:13
her hands shake as she realized it must
7:15
have been hidden for a reason. She
7:16
hopped down from the loft and raced to
7:18
where she had seen the hidden doors.
7:20
With a lot of struggling, Gemma finally
7:22
managed to push one of the hay bales to
7:23
the side to look at what was hidden. It
7:25
was a sellar door that she assumed would
7:27
lead deep underground. She gulped as she
7:29
pulled on the old doors. To her
7:31
surprise, they weren't even locked. She
7:33
now saw a set of stairs leading down
7:35
into the earth. Its darkness would
7:37
swallow her. Gemma decided to be brave
7:38
and descended the old stairs. But as she
7:41
continued down under the stairs, she
7:43
realized that they went on for longer
7:44
than they should have. The stairs were
7:46
taking her deep underground. She finally
7:48
got to a concrete room. She must have
7:50
been 15 ft underground, but that was
7:52
nothing compared to what was waiting for
7:53
her. Gemma found an old light switch.
7:56
She assumed it would be broken, just
7:58
like the one in the barn. But as she
7:59
flicked it up, she was showered in
8:01
light. Now she could see what the small
8:03
room was for. She collapsed to her knees
8:05
when she saw what her father had hidden
8:06
from the world. How could he have done
8:08
this? All she knew was that her life
8:10
would never be the same again. Gemma
8:12
couldn't believe what she was looking
8:13
at. There was a small vault inside of
8:15
the concrete room. What was he hiding
8:17
inside? She had no idea what the
8:19
combination was, but then she reread the
8:21
note. "Remember your birthday? The 4th
8:24
of June, 1,990,"
8:27
she murmured to herself. She put her
8:29
hand on the dial and turned it. After
8:31
putting in 4690, it clicked and opened.
8:34
Gemma's mouth hung open as she saw what
8:36
was on the shelves of the small vault.
8:37
She immediately knew it must have been
8:39
why her dad had visited the farm when
8:41
she was small after her granddad's
8:43
death. It was what Peter had left to
8:44
Adam and now what he was leaving to his
8:46
daughter. There were bars of heavy
8:48
silver sitting on the shelves. There
8:50
must have been at least 30 lb of it.
8:52
Gemma knew her life would never be the
8:54
same again.
