The house was a mess. The previous owner had left behind a mountain of junk. The garage was the worst. One day, she was clearing it out. The garage door wouldn't budge. She leaned on it and it gave way.

Behind the wall was another room. It was filled with boxes. She would make the space her own.

She would investigate, she thought. She would not be stopped. She would not be told what she should not do. She was free to do what she pleased.
