The Manor
The enormous house consisted of large acres of land with an abundance of flower and vegetable gardens. Violet’s only companion was her cat Missy.
She walked down the basement steps, the kerosene lamp, her only light. The stairs creaked and the ghastly noise churned her stomach.
When Violet reached the top shelf and grabbed a bucket, something brushed her leg. Startled, she tripped, fell, and hit her head unconscious. Missy pawed her arm until she awakened.
“Missy, don’t do that again.” Violet rubbed her lump and walked upstairs with Missy trailing behind.
In the basement, the deceased prior owner chortled.
