Creeping around old houses was an addiction, a mysterious adventure that got Sheri’s mind racing.
Who lived here and why did they leave?
Endless questions poured through her mind, especially when she found things. What reasons made people abandon stuff, like this intricate book? Who would leave such a treasure? And why was it not dusty?
Sheri gently flipped through the pages–pages that seemed like inlaid origami. She traced the delicate designs. It felt like the book was pulsing under her fingertips.
Or was that her heart pounding…
She froze when she felt the cold breath on her neck.

For added fun, I add a few abandoned house pictures I took recently.

Old houses carry stories, perhaps that why stately houses can charge so much. Love your Interesting photos.

So far, I have ventured at walking around the outside of them. I’ve been too scared to go inside of them…
