Mystery Manor
Mystery at the Manor Finally, I had arrived at the Bates Manor. “God,” I thought to myself, “this place is really out here!” As soon as I pulled in, I caught a glimpse of a man; I couldn’t quite visualize his face through the evening fog, just his figure. I parked my black car on the newly lain asphalt and grabbed my purse in the passenger seat next to me. Now I could see the man as he walked toward my car, a handsome feature with kind eyes had me astonished; not quite expecting someone like him at a place like this. As I popped my trunk and opened my door he met me beside my car with a smile.
“Hello, my name is Ryan. Looks like you’ll need help with your bags. Would you like a hand?”He said to me, still under a shock. “Sure, my suitcase is in the back, I just popped the trunk.” I hid my blushing in attempt to start a conversation; I don’t think I dealt that very well… We walked to the front room of the manor to check in to where I’d stay. When I followed Ryan through the door and found myself astonished once again, but to the vaulted ceilings and dark furniture; it almost looked medieval. “Good evening Miss. I am Mrs. Johnson and your name…” “Jodie, Jodie Aiden. I am only staying for about a week or so, Mr. Dover sent…” “Oh yes, he told me about you; Ryan, show her to the Main room and her chambers please.”

Ryan left me in the hall with directions to the second door on the right. As I opened the door, I found a man, a built, tall man who had been making my bed. “Oh, you must be Jodie, I’m Jay.” I set down my big leather bag, purse and suite case and introduced myself as warmly and I could, trying to hide my fatigue from the drive. He left the room and left a scent of the febreeze bottle, apples and cinnamon. I looked out the window; that view was unbeatable. I could see right over the fog, as I was on the third floor. It seemed to be hovering on the ground. When I set my hand on the sill of the window, I noticed its latch was

    It all happened on a warm sunny saturday morning in “Where are you going. Where have you been’’ by Joyce Carry Oates. It started with an unfamiliar car bouncing along Connie's long drive way. When she first heard the car she rushed to the window excitedly, frantically fixing her hair. Making sure she looked good, seemed to be an insecure habit for Connie. She saw an uninvited boyish looking man who was situated in the car parked now in her driveway. There was a tension of unease about the boyish man, he acted if he was supposed to be at Connie's house, as if she has told him to come. She should have taken him being there uninvited more seriously, by locking the door or even calling the police. Connie was too caught up with herself to realize…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    As I entered his room I was glad to see that he was awake. That’s a good sign, I told myself. Finny greeted me without a trace of friendliness, and I told him, “I’ve been trying to tell you...” His face seemed calm as he spoke, “You simply didn’t know what you were doing in the tree, is that it?” “Yes, yes of course you’re right, but how can you believe that?” “I think I understand that it wasn’t personal. I think I can believe you.”…

    As he got closer she noticed him and ran over to him in a rush. “Excuse me, have you seen my little brother? He’s short with curly hair and glasses and he has on a blue shirt!” She screamed as she frantically moved back and forth. “No I haven’t seen him, but I’d be more than glad to help you look for him” Joshua replied.

I’d completely forgotten about meeting her for lunch that day and I was so intrigued by what had happened that I didn’t think before asking her, “Who lives in the Restricted Wing?” Natalie blinked at me blankly, and then asked accusingly, “Why?” I immediately realized my mistake and played dumb, shrugging my shoulders and saying, “Just wondering.” Natalie relaxed and looked around, “Okay, I’ll tell you.”…

    Haunted houses are normally visited during Halloween, which has become a tradition for many people. Men and women visit these haunted houses to experience a bit of danger because people are not sure if these ghosts are a threat; therefore, they must go see to believe. At the end of these haunted houses people should be a bit scared, but they should be able to recognize the fun in it. In the case of the Mckamey Manor haunted house it is known for being the most extreme. I believe it is not a haunted house, but more of a torture chamber. It is a place where the whole point of a haunted house has changed, kept in stressful environment, and ruthless. Mckamey Manor is taking the haunted house idea too far.…
