Smashed windows and doors blow continuously, in the gustily wind, banging one after the other, against the ancient castle. A creaking wooden gate, hanging off by a rusty hinge, lead the way, up to the haunted castle forbidden to entry. Wet smelly rats scattering around your feet, scavenging on the rotting garbage, in festering heaps around the eerie castle.
