The new house was a disaster. It was obvious the owners before her hadn't been home for a while. Dust-covered furniture, cobwebs everywhere, a musty odor; it was starting to get to her. She was just about to leave when she noticed a section of wallpaper was moving.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." She shook her head, smiling. With a gentle tug, the wallpaper peeled back, exposing a small, unassuming door. She twisted the handle. It opened with a soft sigh. She stepped inside, letting out a laugh of pure glee.

The small room appeared to be an old study. Perfect.
