Mr. Hammond's House
Drama, Fiction, SuspenseMr. Hammond's HouseFollow me, if you will, to what will seem like the ends of the universe. To a place where darkness and shadows reign. Where only the bravest of souls would dare to venture. It's a place unlike any you have ever known, where the light beckons from beyond, but fails to penetrate the blackness surrounding your present environment. It is, above all things, depressing and dismal, prompting you to escape into the sunshine, which, from your vantage point, doesn't exist.This is his house. The house where he lives a solitary existence in gloom and shadow. They...
