    About this ebook

    Henry is a little creeped out by his new apartment. For one thing, the previous tenants died a few weeks before he moved in. For another, there's a gas leak somewhere in the building and the smell is starting to seep into his clothes. Just when Henry thinks things couldn't get much worse, one of the former tenants pays him a midnight visit.

      23 Crow's Perch - Jason Strange

      Chapter 1

      Crow’s Perch

      Henry’s mom was hauling a big box up the long flight of steps. Her brow was dotted with sweat and her jeans were dirty. Her hands were covered in grease from the tire she’d changed on the drive to Ravens Pass. Henry noticed a new tear on her left pant leg, too.

      They both kept climbing until they reached the second floor. Then Mom dropped the box outside the door to apartment 23 and fished through her pocket for her keys.

      Henry put down his box on top of the one his mom had been carrying. He pulled off his baseball cap and wiped his forehead with his sleeves. He leaned on the wall in the hall. I just don’t understand why Dad isn’t here to help, Henry complained.

      Please, Henry, Mom said. We’ve been over this. Dad has to work another ten days for his job or he won’t get his severance pay.

      What’s severance? Henry asked.

      Henry sighed. He wasn’t happy to be moving into this little, ratty apartment in Ravens Pass.

      Just last week, his family was living in a big, beautiful house nearly a thousand miles away. Then Mom got a job transfer, so they all had to move. The company was paying the rent on this apartment until their family could get settled in a new house.

      Finally Henry heard keys jingling. Here they are, Mom said, pulling them out. She wiped her sleeve across her forehead and sighed. This day might be improving.

      Then she opened the door. Henry and Mom both immediately covered their noses and took
