    About this ebook

    The Robsons, Vernon and Michelle, think that getting their new home is the best thing that could have ever happened to them; however, they soon learn that there is much more to its old-fashioned charm, much more lurking beneath its floorboards and in its shadows. The house is a gateway, a keep of souls, those within it waiting for their opportunity to once more find vessels to inhabit. Will Vernon sacrifice himself to save his family? Will his son forever remain the key to it all?

      THEY

      Copyright © 2014 by Jason Wallace

      The Robsons, Vernon and Michelle, thought that their new home at 1278 Mobley Lane was everything that they’d ever wanted or needed. It was perfect, with its well-painted, black shudders elegantly announcing the high, neatly-trimmed and embossed windows that pronounced the immense entryway to the spacious, high-ceilinged parlor and living room making it quite the envy of most onlookers. It had a sort of old-fashioned charm to it that would not allow the family to let it elude their grasp. It seemed to be exactly what parents with hopes of increasing their fold required, enough to allow comfort while providing ample relaxation, despite its obvious necessity of possibly strenuous upkeep. This was all not to mention that the price was surprisingly low for such a house, making it a steal, though neither Vernon nor Michelle could figure out why no one else had beaten them to it, given its six month tenure on the market.

      There was a strange feeling of being welcomed every time that the couple and their children walked through the front door, as if the house itself possessed a spirit all its own and wished the family to enjoin themselves to it. The oddest facet of the situation was that no one had lived in the home in more than ten years, yet it was so well-kept and manicured that one would assume it to have been occupied until the very day that the new owners came upon it. Even the yard and bushes were carefully trimmed. The history of the place, however, was elusive and almost ethereal, carved out of nothingness and making no sense to anyone, no ability to comprehend its real progress of ownership presenting
