Fearsome
What was it about the enigmatic door inside the water heating room that had driven Sam to fetch some equipment? It was laden with heavy locks in a way that strongly suggested that no one was supposed to get inside. Sam ran up the stairs, entered his workroom, and grabbed his toolbox. What he needed most was the hammer. Sam could not believe that it had come to this, but he was determined to shed light on all the dark places in his home.
Fearsome
Shut Off
Sam approached the heavily bolted door and began smashing the locks with his hammer. One by one they fell after several heavy strikes with loud rattles. If Mary had been home, she would have been terrified of her husband. When the last lock hit the ground, Sam grabbed ahold of the door handle and heaved the door open. It shuddered and groaned out of place and decades of pent-up musty air billowed out in Sam’s face.
Shut Off
