The Peculiar Map

Create a narrative about an ancient, cryptic map found by the main character, which leads them on a wild goose chase.

This map appears to be a treasure map and our hero believes it will lead to a fortune, but questions arise like, “Why was this map ‘found’ just now?” and “Is this map fake, or, real but leading to something else?” Explore themes of skepticism, deceptive narratives, and the power—or hazard—of hope.
