The floorboards creaked and groaned beneath me as I stumbled through the door to this house that sat on the edge of town. It had lain forlorn for at least a year now, a curtain of moss and debris littered the lawn and porch, the interior of the house was surprisingly in good shape, victorian-era furniture covered by a veil of dust sat by the grand fireplace, the kitchen still had appliances such as a stove, fridge, and microwave. In a place like this, you would think that someone would have broken in and took this stuff to sell or pawn.

Ever heard of the expression: Not my monkey, not my circus?” I ask boldly while sipping my water. Adriel scowls again,”Alright.I take that you haven’t heard about Alastair since you’ve obviously been living under a rock” She manages to grumble and starts to leave.
