    About this ebook

    UPDATED! I have taken my first review to heart and researched grammar in order to improve the reading experience. I have also added a little bit more to the story.

    A modern affair with an old curse. What is in the basement of this professional couples home?

    "She starts to feel constricted in her breath and movement. Slowly, she is able to pull her hand back ..."

    A short tale of Horror and morality to distract you from the dull drums of today.

    This is a pay what you want book, so you can even get it for free if you like.
