Shafted

The once thriving Coalcot mining community has set desolate for over a century; an abandoned relic to a bygone era of grit, grime and tough as nails coal men that courted danger like a dame worth a day’s wage. While researching the old community in the McDowell County archives of West Virginia you stumble across something interesting; a short entry in the middle of the diary of an unnamed miner. May 21,1893. We had eight that didn’t come up today. One was McGuinness. Fine guy. New baby – two weeks old. Me and the Canary Crew finished stashin’ the last of Rockefella’s secret treasure. We’ll seal it off tomorrow during shift then ol’ Johnny’s gonna make us all rich for our trouble. Has anyone else noticed this before? Could this really be referencing the John D. Rockefeller? If so, could that secret treasure still be sealed up somewhere in the old, abandoned Coalcot Mine? You finish your research for the day and try to go on with your life as normal, but you can’t get these questions out of your head. Finally, after three months of obsessing over that diary entry you gather together a group of your adventurous friends to venture down into the abandoned mine to search for Rockefeller’s secret treasure. It’s a dangerous undertaking, but the payoff could be immense.
