Haunted House

Rory and Taylor discover an abandoned house, on the way home from school.

It is set back off a dirt road. They pass this road every day on the way home. Rory looks through the trees and notices what looks like a house.

“Taylor, does that look like a house to you?” He asked

“I don’t know sort of” replied his companion.

The boys walk through the brush and the over grown weeds. It looks like Rory was right.

The house is huge! The roof still looks like its held up through the years. The windows are broken and the front door is missing.

The two boys look at eachother. “Shall we check it out?” Taylor asks.

Rory looked at his friend.. “what do we have to lose?” he answered.

They walk through the front doorway, and look around. There is debris all over the place. The roof is missing some shingles and you can see holes. Light shines down from the second story. They walk around the first story, trying to get a good glimpse of the house. They try to imagine what it looked like years ago.
