    The House Grotty and ruined‚ the house stood grounded to the earth. I shivered as though ice had replaced my spine. The cold air enveloped my entire body.

Red roses grew wildly in thick patches by the gate. The moonlight cast a ghoulish glow on the house. Vines formed a twisted maze upon the side of house‚ reaching their
