Extend the Story - Add a Room

You answer, "Oh, ya!" Smiling, you nod. "Let's go in!!"

"Okay, then!" Aubrey pulls a flashlight from his coat pocket, and turns it on. The light from the device illuminates the darkness, and shines in thorughout the dark and quiet house. He smiles and says, "I come prepared."

You both walk in the door, cautious, looking around every corner, checking every nook-and-cranny (lol). A noise comes from in front of you, and, moving closer, you realize it was a cat. A . . . black . . . cat. But, you're not superstitious, and, from the look on Aubrey's face, he isn't, either.

Suddenly, there comes a crash of some sort from the upper floor, and you and Aubrey jump. You and he exchange looks.

"What do you think that was?" you ask him, your voice shaking slightly; but, enough that he hears the uneasiness in it.

"I don't know," he confesses, uneasiness in his voice, as well. "Maybe a rat . . .? A really . . . big rat . . .? Let's go upstairs and look, shall we??"

What do you do?

Go Upstairs
