Erin's heels clipclopped against the cobblestone. She was wearing a suit! Pencil skirt hugging slender hips, jacket unbuttoned navy blue contrasting with the cream beneath. Her right hand gripped a suitcase, it rubbing slightly against her legs as she came up the street. Erin walked with confidence, head held high as she transversed the streets of the West End. Her feet stopped, a small smile spreading over her face as she she spotted what she was searching for.
The house before her was ancient. Two tall towers, and a high entry way protruding above the tall Elm trees out front. The yard was over grown, the porch steps cracked, one even missing. The house was dark with many broken windows. Gargoyles on the rooftops stared down at her. She raised a hand to wave. "Hello, Bert, Gerta, Ginger" A laugh to herself at her newly named friends.
Erin carefully removed a key from her case. With the key she unlocked the masterlock on the chain hanging outside of the house. Rolling it, she left it in a ball at the foot of the driveway. With a large smile she came up the walk, navigating the stairs to push open the old wooden door.
Small voice coughcoughed at the cloud of dust rising from the room as she entered. A clickclick with the light switch revealed the lack of power. What was she thinking? power... She nodded to herself again, pulling a legal pad out of her bag along with a pen. "Number one...fix lights..." Her heels clicking as she inspected the main room she couldn't help but laugh to herself. "And so it begins."
