I gulp as I stand in front of the house, it was boarded up as long as I can remember, though I never dared explore it, it was three stories tall, a veritable mansion. The design was one you could see on those old movies on Victorian America, perhaps this was once a respectable estate of a good family, but on this year, those time were long past now…
I release my breath as I walked up the door, the wooden stair creaking as I climbed the porch. From the paint, I guess the house was painted lime once, now though only rotted wood remained, gnarled and darkened, like a carcass that was left out for many years.
I grabbed my crowbar, and slipped it inbetween the nails.

I pulled one board out.

I pulled all of them out, and placed my gloved hand on the rusty doorknob. I took a breath, and pulled.
crreakk…
I pulled again.
crreaak…!
Huh, hm. Maybe, I could…
crack, crack, CRACK!

ding…!
The knob came off, and I pushed the door open with my crowbar…
creaakk…
Now comes the hard part.
