The strange discover
Stacy stumbled upon a mysterious object by chance. She was eager to share her discovery with her father but hesitated, knowing he would be furious if he found out. Fred’s anger was something Stacy feared more than anything, and she would do anything to avoid being around him when he was upset.
Her father was not known for his patience and had a temper that would flare up at the drop of a hat. Stacy had learned the hard way to be cautious when it came to Fred’s mood swings. Nevertheless, she couldn’t resist the urge to solve the mystery and asked her father about the strange object despite her fears.
