The house was locked, and wore a desolate look. Nobody had lived there for years.
A damaged car parked outside indicated a backstory. The boy washing cars cleaned this one for free, just so that it did not turn into an eyesore. He mentioned hearing muffled sounds, but it was dismissed as a teenager’s hyperactive imagination. Who had come in this car, never to go back?
The detective braced himself up for work. Just yesterday, a strange, shabbily dressed man had offered to sell him the house, but said that it needed an investigative eye, before they sealed the deal.

Sounds like something bad is going on. Or has gone on.

Well done. I almost expected….investigative eye before they sealed…the wall…with the body in it of course. 🙂

Now I’m scared for the detective. I feel like when I’m watching a horror movie and want to yell at the characters: don’t go in there alone! Get back up!

Exactly! The characters do not know what the viewer knows.
