The House looks like one of those old Victorian Houses sitting on top of a
hill surrounded by dead or dying trees. Something out of a Horror movie, I
was thinking when I pulled up. I inherited it from my long lost uncle who
they say died from some mysterious illness. What they were actually saying is
they don't know what killed him they just know he died. I didn't even know
about him until about 3 weeks ago when a lawyer showed up on my door step
with the will in hand. There was a hand written letter inside from Uncle
Herbert, saying how much he would have liked to meet me but with the tension
between my family and himself he thought my life would be less complicated if
he stayed away. He continued to say he wanted me to have this house because I
was the only one that followed in his footsteps and studied chemistry in
college. Little did he know I flunked out.
I got out of my car and walked up the winding walk, concrete was breaking in
pieces and there was grass growing in between the cracks. The porch was in
bad need of repair, the railings were broken and the floor of the porch
buckled in the center, and looked like with the slightest pressure would
result in the whole thing falling into an unrecognizable heap. Carefully I
made it to the door, and what a door! It was Huge with old scrolling and mold
work that would make any carpenter proud. It creaked loudly as I pushed it
open. There to my amazement was the most magnificent living area I've ever
seen! The whole place was restored to the original beauty and my heart leaped
into my throat, "it's mine" I said to myself.
Room after room I explored with delight, finally when all was covered I went
to explore the basement.
I walked down the stairs and there was an assortment of garden tools all
along the stairway. At the bottom there were three doors. I noticed the one
had chains and padlocks on it so decided that was the place I should look
next. I finally got all the chains undone and opened the door. I couldn't
believe my eyes. It looked like a chemistry lab. I moved around the room I
couldn't believe my eyes it was the most sophisticated lab I've ever seen! In
the corner there was a glass closet and a sign that read enter at your own
risk! I looked around for notes to explain what was going on and found a
notebook full of them. It seems as if my uncle was experimenting with
rejuvenating formulas. I read all night it was fascinating. Then I came to
the page that explained his death. The notebook told me to look in the other
room and that all my questions would be answered. I walked into the next room
and there was a huge box..it had tubes and hoses coming out of it..a note on
the box said "Push the button now!"
I sat there for what seemed to be mins. but it was more like an hour. My
curiosity got the better of me so I pushed the button. The box started to
jump and spin and it shook so hard I thought the house would fall down. Then
the thing started smoking I ran as fast as I could to the door. No sooner did
I get to the door and it all went quiet so I walk cautiously back to the box
and there was this scratching sound coming from inside. There was a little
window along the one side so I crept up to it and made myself look in. There
inside was .....are you ready?.....scroll down
are you sure you want to go on?
The box was full of those miniature marshmallows!! My uncle discovered how
they make those little buggers! The only problem was he was addicted and he
ate himself to death lol lol lol!
