Considering the fact that it was already late in the night, the aggressive approaching feet didn’t allow me to think before I leaped into the house. I climbed the fence and jumped inside the compound. I was expecting everything to change like earlier but I was disappointed. Immediately my feet touched the ground, I landed in the real house.

Nothing changed. The cemented floor was the same and the paint on the walls were still permanent. I gazed around and saw many household stuffs lurking around the building.

Mopping stick was hanged outside as if they just rinsed it or they just used it to clean a baby’s urine. A large blue bucket was also placed beside the house. It makes it looks as if someone just finished washing a cloth. I was able to see all these with the bulbs surrounding the building.

I was less scared as everywhere was really bright and looked less scary. Immediately I entered the compound, I switched off my torchlight and put it inside my bag. I put the bag tightly on my back and started walking around the house.

I was hearing a sound of generator, so I decided to look around if I can see where they put it. I started following the rumbling and coarse sound of the generator.

My assumption was that the generator was probably situated at the back of the building so, I started walking towards the back yard. When I got to the backyard, there was no sign of the generator.

I began a marathon strolling around the building but to my surprise, I couldn’t see where the generator was placed. There was a light and a sound but, I couldn’t find the source.

Since I’ve entered the house, I haven’t seen anyone, I decided to enter the building. I walked to the front door and saw it closed but wasn’t locked. I opened the door and went inside.

The interior of the building was a face-to-face structure. The building obviously was homing many residers. It has 40 rooms downstairs. 20 rooms facing each other, and when I went upstairs, I counted another 40 rooms, 20 rooms facing each other.

The light illuminated all the nooks and crannies of the building. All the rooms was lighted including the corridor that divided the rooms.

I ran down the corridor thrice to gape inside the rooms if I can see anyone. When I couldn’t see anyone downstairs, I ran upstairs and ran through the corridor four times to check if I can just see a single soul.

All I was left with was my breath. I sat on one of the stairs to take my breath. I was tired of running around the building. I was surprised that I couldn’t see a single soul in that big building. A very big building to be concise. I began to wonder the reason why they even named the house “House of Death. Little did I know that I will soon start seeing wonders.

It was already late and my body was stressed out from the day’s activities. I decided to sleep in the first room downstairs. I chose to sleep there in case I sense or see any danger, it will be easier for me to run away. But, I wasn’t sure if I can get out of the fence. I haven’t tried to go back actually.

I walked to the door of the first room and held the knob of the door. I was already twitching and twisting the handle of the door, about to open it when I heard my name from the far end of the building.

“Heyyy, Elijah”.

The voice sounded so familiar, I looked at my right side and was surprised to see…..
