The Good, The Bad, And The Stinky
It's said to be good luck for homeowners when a carpenter leaves a tool in your walls after a job. They might hide a fish in the vents if they get screwed over for money. It will take years for the smell to dissipate. Whoever built this house went a little too far. At least that's what I'll tell the police.
They're still looking for my partner. I suspect that she and the contractor left town with my money.
In my mind, I can still see the bodies, skin crumbling, bones exposed. The smell of flesh lingers inside my skull.
