    The house house was beautiful and old with dark stones the had deep imbedded sparkles that when they caught the light they shimmered in a way so mesmerizing it could make you forget who or where you are. I walked in staring at all the creepy painting on the wall of old folks. I swww.onedoor.cctrode up the stairs with my box and that's when I saw something, an attic the relator hadn't mentioned it. I grabbed a broom from downstairs and managed to grab the hook pulling it open. The ladder slid down almost hitting me in the head. Shocked and startled I took a to big step back tripping and falling down the stai...YA6one door

    Broken Glass and New Beginnings

    The window matches the rest of the house. Grimy, covered in years of dirt and memories that no amount of cleaning can make a dent in.I should know. I’ve tried.

    Lies of the Rational Mind

    It’s all in your mind, Pete. Pete put one foot through the half open door of his bedroom and slipped out into a hallway in total darkness. He looked down and wiggled his fingers and all he saw were murky phantom blurs. He waited a moment for his eyes to adjust as best they could, resisting the urge to fumble for the light switch on the wall somewhere to his left. It was a kind of test he put himself through sometimes. To prove what, he wasn’t sure. That he was a rational man, unafraid of the dark? That he didn’t need light to walk in a straight line from his bedroom to the bathroom? He knew th...YA6one door
