Mystery Monday – Mineral Creek Chapter Two

It was dark by the time she disembarked from the train. She stretched the kinks out of her shoulders as she gathered up her bags and began the long walk to her old home. It may have been ten years but it felt just like yesterday that she had walked these very streets of Mineral Creek.

When she turned down the street to her old home, a feeling of homecoming settled over her. Just ahead, the only dark house on the street, was her home. She knew there would be a lot of work cleaning ten years worth of neglect away but she was ready for the task. 

The front door had swollen with age and disuse so she had to struggle to get inside, but once inside the memories swarmed her once more. Everything was how they had left it. All the furniture was there but age and dust had dimmed their color. Her parents hadn’t even taken the time to cover the furnishings to save them from age. Again she wondered why they had left so suddenly.
