This was a pretty decent short story, it was believable and one of those stories where you almost know what will happen but not quite sure so you’re eager to find out more. I wish the main character’s personality could have been embellished on a little more-but maybe that’s the point, she was a just a average person who had something crazy happen to her -could happen to anyone I guess. I give it 3 stars which for me means good/average.

Secrets and lies war with greed and quick riches in this suspenseful treasure hunt story. Not as creepy as the stories before it but twisty none the less. Another cautionary tale out of the collection of 5 stories, this one showing that you can't trust a thief, and that nothing good can come from joining the bad guy in retrieving loot hidden in a mine shaft in Death Valley, where the most common lifeform is scorpions.

Frankie is a caregiver facing a meager and thankless future. Until her elderly charge dies—but not before revealing his secret. It’s buried in Death Valley. Enough money to change Frankie’s life forever. All she has to do is follow his instructions and stay on the path, and her prayers will be answered. It’s everything Frankie hopes for. But nothing like she expects. This story was very straight forward, offered little thrills and lacked a punch at the ending.
