A trapdoor hidden under the coffin
After several hours digging in the rain, the shovel hit the wood of the coffin. Daniel pushed the dirt aside with his hands and managed to open the lid with a crowbar. There was the old man’s body, his face pale and motionless. But something caught his attention: the bottom of the coffin was not made of wood.
Under the lining was a dark metal plate. Carefully, he moved the body to the side and discovered a round black metal trapdoor with a large iron ring in the center. As he pulled it, the trapdoor opened with a creak, revealing a vertical shaft with an iron ladder descending into the darkness.
