The Mansion
The door creaked as I opened it. Rays of light shone into the room, revealing the dust as it drifted through the air. There was a musky smell as I breathed in. The room was long and narrow. There was a long thick oak table going through the centre of the room. Plates and Cutlery were laid down as if a large family were about to have a big feast, and yet know body was in the mansion but me. This scared me knowing that because as much as I don’t want to believe it, I was certain there wasn’t anything on the table last night when I broke in. There must be someone or something else in here with me.
I peered around the gloomy room. I noticed a colossal tapestry against the wall of the room. It showed reindeers getting slaughtered in what looked like a basement. A cold shiver ran up my spine as I breathed in. I could hear my heart pump aggressively. I began to get the feeling I didn’t want to be here. I turned around to reach for the doorknob and turned it. The door wouldn’t budge. Something can’t be right, I could have sworn this was the door I came in from. I began to briskly walk forward towards the opposite end of the room. Shadows refrained me from seeing what was in front. I eagerly looked for a candle. I came across a lantern. As I lit it, the light reflected off the huge walls and revealed a door in front of me. The door was small and was carpeted in red. It looked like there was an important room behind it. I opened the door and slowly walked in intriguingly. My bottom jaw dropped as looked gruesomely at what was around me. Every inch of the walls was covered with heads mounted on plaques. Their faces were dull and grey as if they’ve been there a long time. The floor below them was covered with hairs that have died and dropped from their heads onto the floor. There was ailing in my stomach, as I felt extremely sick. I closed my eyes and thought to myself for a second as to what I’m going to do. I had to get out of here. As I looked up, I saw a blank plaque with a description below it. There was a date showing the 21st October.
