My little brother and I found this glass circle underneath our grandmothers house.. I give to my brother for him to keep and he gives it back to me for me to keep. We always switch off.. Its very beautiful, It looks alot like a crystal.. I at times look through it with one eye.. It makes everything look so very clear.. I decide to go for a walk one day and take it with me to view nature through its clear eye..

Its not to hard to remember. In fact I see it as clear as I see a lone white cloud in the sky through this glass eye.. On my hike, or walk or whatever u may call it I decide to stray of my usual path.

I walk toward the underpath of the forest were the creek ran.. And there is where I saw it. It was someone else.. It was someone who needed to be alone. And they truly needed to be for one reason.. And that simple reason is "No one could know what they were doing." Someone turned out to be several people..

I stayed hidden in the shadows of bushes and trees.. I watched, I listened, I saw.. They were putting them into the dirt.. A soon to be lost grave.. It looked as if they were burying a family.. My heart raced and beat loudly I could hear it..

And then they all vanished into nothing! As if a shadow faded in to darkness.. The grass went from yellow to green in an instant.. The dry creek had water once again.. Am I crazy!?

I felt something warm in my pocket and noticed it to be the glass circle my brother and I found.. It was warm and had changed color to green.. I looked through it and it shined! As if I hit the rewind button I saw them again burying the family.. Oh my god! What is this thing? We have had it for over 30 years.. The next thing to do is get a shovel.. For I may be the witness to what seems to be a very old crime.. I suppose this glass circle is and eye to the past.. I have not been able to get it to work again since that day.. And it turns out there was a family buryed there.. In fact they were all murdered..
I still have the glass circle today..
