The estate agent stammered, "There was… a tragic situation." Michael, signing the paperwork, felt a flush of warmth spread through him. A tragedy! He'd always loved a good story, and now, he had one right inside his own home. He began making plans.

He spent the next few days in a whirlwind, researching the history of the house, interviewing neighbours, and pouring over old newspapers. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction. The house was no longer just a house, it was a piece of history.

He decided that he would remodel the bathroom, he knew the house would look amazing when he was finished. The possibilities were endless. He felt alive, invigorated, as if he had just won the lottery.
