Ghost Stories - Finders Keepers

Act 5 - One may not always want to keep what one finds...

"It's the heat radiating off the find," Sam drawled, wiping his mouth. He hated being this angry, this disgusted with human life.

She broke through his thoughts as she remarked to the Professor, "We think that the find must stay where it is.  It shouldn't be disturbed - at least not until we know what it is."

"Right," Sam echoed, straightening, but that was a mistake for his hat dusted the top of the cave's ceiling. Lucky for him it was void of stalactites.

That was yet another thing that had irritated him about the Professor. He had been touching every formation possible during the hike to the find. Idiot. One touch wiped out centuries of cave life.

"Nonsense!" the Professor announced, reaching for the find. "I'm taking it with me now.  Finders keepers-"

He emitted a tortuous scream as Sam and Jessica watched the find melt a hole right though his hand, then landed with a thud on his left leather hiking boot.  They could hear it sizzling from where they stood in shock as he pleaded, "Please - get it off!  I beg of you - "

Both Sam and Jessica ran to him, Jessica smartly wrapping his bludgeoned hand with the vest she had removed while Sam went to remove the find.
