She was drawn to the neglected attic. It was musty and filled with old furniture covered in white sheets. In the corner, she stumbled upon a forgotten wardrobe. It was old and heavy. Opening it, she noticed a false back, a panel she hadn’t seen before. Pushing it inwards, a small, hidden room revealed itself.
