Jeanie loves the house with the spirits of the previous homeowner still roaming about. Liam, Jeanie’s husband, hates the idea of living in a place where a murder took place. Can Jeanie talk Liam into buying The Murder House?

The Murder House

Liam was absolutely positive that he didn’t want to see the house, but Jeanie tricked him. They had just viewed a two-bedroom ranch-style house on Highland Street when she suggested, jokingly of course, that they take a quick peek inside the murder house since they were in the area. It would be fun she told him as she caressed his hand and followed with a playful wink. Just pulling up to the driveway gave Liam chills. He almost didn’t get out of the car.  But Jeanie and Gayle, their real estate agent, had already stepped onto the porch.

“Gruesome,” said Jeanie excitedly, “Come on slowpoke.” She beckoned to Liam. As Gayle unlocked the door, Jeanie shot past her. Wiping his glasses, something he did when he was nervous, Liam carefully stepped inside the house. He was caught off guard by how warm, bright and pleasant the room felt. He had expected it to be cold, dim, with the walls covered in blood. As Gayle pointed out the different amenities in the room such as the fireplace and bay windows, Liam stood in the center of the living room staring up at the ceiling.  He had recalled reading in the papers that blood had been found on the light fixtures.

Gayle leaned her head toward him. “It happened in the bedroom. But this room…the whole house has been professionally cleaned and painted.” She smiled reassuringly.

“Liam!” shouted Jeanie from the kitchen, “Come here! Hurry!”

He sprinted, something he hadn’t done since high school. Slipping a couple of times on the newly waxed hardwood floor, his heart beating fast and hard, slamming against his chest, he reached the kitchen in seconds. Seizing the doorframe to slow his pace while bracing himself for the worst, Liam’s eyes quickly scanned Jeanie’s body for injuries.
