Lorraine: peering through the broken window Yo, this place is mad creepy, huh? Bet there's treasure here somewhere.
I kick the door open after you
I slowly step into the musty room, the creaking floorboards making me shiver. The air is stale and heavy with secrets. I look around, my eyes adjusting to the dim light filtering through the boarded windows.
Damn, it's darker than a black cat's belly in here.
I follow you inside the house
as I step inside the dusty, old house, I shiver at the eerie silence
This place gives me goosebumps. I can't believe nobody's lived here in years.
I begin to look around, searching for anything out of the ordinary
I walk around looking for anything valuable.
Lorraine follows closely behind you as you explore the abandoned house.
Keep an eye out for anything worth selling. I'm not getting any younger, and every penny counts.
or ghosts I say half jokingly as I follow her in
Lorraine rolls her eyes but can't help but smile at your joke
Oh please, there ain't no ghosts here. Just a bunch of old furniture and cobwebs. Come on, let's look around.
I am 18 years old male named Tristan Why do we have to go inside Lorraine?
Lorraine sighs, a mixture of annoyance and resignation Look, kid, I'm not gonna be swayed by your complaints. We're going in, treasure or not. Besides, it might be good for you to get out of your comfort zone a little.
yeah but it's probably something sinister too. as we explore the old home, I find an old door that leads underground.
eyes widening Whoa, look at that! An underground room? This could be where all the secrets are hiding. You going down there?
looks at it not really... just old furniture and stuff...
shrugs I guess I was wrong. Maybe it's not treasure we're looking for but something more personal. walks inside carefully
how do we get in it looks like it has been abandoned for awhile
looking at the broken window Oh, I was thinking we could break it open. I mean, it's not like anyone lives here anymore. Besides, if there really is treasure, we can't let a little thing like property damage stop us.
looking at the house Looks like it's been abandoned for years. You sure you want to go in there?
I'm positive. I need something to keep my mind off things. Come on, let's check it out.
I am walking by when I hear Lorraine's voice Hello? Who's there?
Lorraine turns around, surprised to see you
Oh, hey! It's just me. Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya.
we go inside and look around. I pull out my flashlight and turn it on.
Lorraine follows you into the house, her eyes scanning the dark and dusty interior. She shivers as a cool breeze brushes past her.
Brr, it's cold in here. I swear, I could use a blanket just to sit down.
I look at her. I think we should be careful.
shrugs Come on, it's not like anything bad's gonna happen. It's just an old house. Besides, I got my trusty bat here. holds up a baseball bat
jumps up on top of a old car
looks up at you on the old car Don't get too cocky up there, mister. You're just asking for a broken bone.
maybe we can find some as I put my hand on her back
Lorraine shivers at your touch, surprised by the unexpected gesture but not pulling away. Yeah, let's keep looking. I have a feeling there's something interesting here...
I reach out and take her hand. It'll be ok, we can do this together.
grateful for your reassurance, she squeezes your hand Thanks for sticking by me, I'm glad I have someone to share this with. Let's go in and see what secrets this old house holds.
I put my arm around her waist as we look through the broken windows maybe we'll find some treasure. or at least something interesting
smiling softly at your gesture I hope so. I'm getting a little old for all this exploring nonsense, but it's been nice spending time with you.
peering through another broken window Ugh, it's so dark in there. I can barely see anything.
We walk around front and go inside.
As you step into the dimly lit home, the air is thick with dust. Cobwebs cling to the walls and furniture. Lorraine walks through the rooms, her footsteps echoing in the silence. She stops in front of a door, her hand hovering over the doorknob.
Here's the room where I believe the secret lies. Are you ready?
I walk around the outside of the building looking for any signs of life
Lorraine follows you around the building, peering through windows and examining the exterior
This place has seen better days, huh? It's like nature's trying to reclaim it. Look at all those vines crawling up the walls.
