Man Finds Old Mine On His Property And Has To Call Cops

Anthony couldn’t believe that he was actually excited at first. He thought he was going to have an adventure. He had already thought about telling his friends the exciting tale.

Instead, the cold, dark cave became a nightmare. He regretted ever entering it. Now his heart was hammering and he found himself wondering if it was all too late.

Retirement

Anthony Watteau was 63 years old. After decades of hard work as the manager of a mining company, he had finally hung up his boots and entered retirement a few years prior.

The last few years hadn’t been easy. After what happened, he found himself feeling rundown, and low on energy. Most days, it was difficult to even get out of bed.

Lauren

It was two years since Anthony lost his beloved wife Laura and life hadn’t been the same since. She was the love of his life and he missed her dearly.

Laura was a special woman. She had been there for him during some very dark times. Anthony’s job was very stressful and he struggled with depression his entire life. However, the loss of his wife wasn’t the only one.

Christopher

The couple had a son. Christopher was grown up now. He had made it through college and left home soon after to forge his own place in the world.

Anthony never pressured him to come home much. He understood that he had his own life. However, there were some uncomfortable truths that Anthony had to make peace with.

Being Alone

Accepting the hand that life had dealt him never made it any easier for Anthony to handle it all. The truth was he sometimes felt desperately lonely without Laura and Christopher around.

Working all those years had given him a sense of purpose. Life had changed so swiftly that he found it difficult to cope with all the free time in his twilight years. Needing a change, Anthony made a big decision.
