Gloomy as a storm
Stephanie is standing in front of her new home, holding up an older photo of the house. She looks back and forth between the picture in the house, confused and a little disappointed with the difference. In the photo, the place looked bright and cheerful. The grass was green, the trees full of life. Everyone looked so happy.
"This photo was taken 2 years ago...what happened in between?" Stephanie wonders and puts the photo away in her pocket. She slowly strolls up to the door and pulls out the key. Unlocking it she walks in and takes in the new environment. Cobwebs covered the ceiling, the floor was covered with dust and abandoned Debris and some of the windows were blocked with boards. It was different than what was sent in photos. Stephanie sighs as she looks around for cleaning supplies.
"For an abandoned house it isn't too bad" she inquiries and opens the closet door to find cleaning supplies.
"Ah here we are"
She grabs the broom and starts to sweep the house. It starts to look better with potential by the minutes. She takes down the boards, cleaned all the rooms and got rid of the cobwebs. When she was finally made it deemed livable, she starts to unpack, setting everything up.
The living room, kitchen and part of her bedroom was all she had time for before she departed for the night. She stretches and looks out the window to see a little girl staring at her with a smile. Stephanie waves, smiling back at her. Suddenly her alarm goes off which catches her attention. When she looks back, the girl was nowhere to be seen. She frowns with slight concern but brushes it off, assuming the child ran home. She slumps her way to her room, turning off the light and plops on her bed. Stephanie drifts fast asleep, not knowing that she was being watched.
