The antique dealer had just left, his words still echoing in Martha’s ears. “The previous owner… well, let’s just say there was a *little* incident here. A bit of a… mystery.” Martha clapped her hands together. The house, a Victorian with peeling paint and a crooked porch, had always felt… *special*. Now, a secret history! She skipped into the kitchen, humming.

The thrill of discovery coursed through her, a fizzy sensation like champagne bubbles. This house was more than just bricks and mortar; it was a character in a real-life drama.
